in Re Michael Quinn Sullivan

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-19-00739-CV
In re Michael Quinn Sullivan
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM TRAVIS COUNTY
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus. See Tex. Gov’t Code § 22.221;
Tex. R. App. P. 52.1. The real parties in interest subsequently filed an unopposed motion to
dismiss this original proceeding as moot, explaining that they filed a motion for nonsuit in the
trial court. We grant the motion of the real parties in interest, and we dismiss the petition for
writ of mandamus as moot. See In re Kellogg Brown & Root, Inc., 166 S.W.3d 732, 737 (Tex.
2005) (orig. proceeding) (“A case becomes moot if a controversy ceases to exist between the
parties at any stage of the legal proceedings . . . .”).
