No. 05-22-01058-CV
IN RE EVAN JOHNSTON AND ADRIANA AKHTAR, Relators
Original Proceeding from the 14th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-21-00476
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Partida-Kipness, and Justice Smith
Opinion by Chief Justice Burns
Before the Court is relators’ motion to dismiss their mandamus petition.
Relators state the controversy described in their mandamus petition—a dispute over
discovery matters—has been mooted by the trial court’s final summary judgment
order disposing of their claims. See In re Alexis, No. 05-97-01916-CV, 1998 WL
564933, at *1 (Tex. App.—Dallas Sept. 8, 1998, orig. proceeding) (not designated
for publication) (“The entry of final judgment renders this mandamus dispute over
pre-trial discovery motions moot.”). Therefore, relators move to dismiss their
pending petition for mandamus relief.
We grant relators’ motion and dismiss this original proceeding.
