IN RE BJ SERVICES COMPANY, J.W. STEWART, JOHN R. HUFF, MICHAEL E. PATRICK, DON D. JORDAN, WILLIAM H. WHITE, L. WILLIAM HEILIGBRODT, JAMES L. PAYNE, and BAKER HUGHES INCORPORATED, Relators

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION

By petition for writ of mandamus, relators sought relief from the trial court’s order refusing to stay the trial court proceedings[1] pending adjudication of an earlier-filed case in Delaware. On July 15, 2010, relators moved to dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus as moot, contending that “the parties entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Compromise, Settlement and Release dated April 30, 2010” and that “the dispute underlying this proceeding has been finally resolved and is now moot.”

We dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus.  Any pending motions are also dismissed as moot.     

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack and Justices Bland and Sharp.
