MEMORANDUM OPINION  

Pending before the Court is Appellee's motion to dismiss this appeal as moot. On February 12, 2008, Appellant, proceeding pro se, filed a notice of appeal from the trial court's order denying his motion to compel production of documents. On March 26, 2008, Appellant filed a notice of non-suit in the trial court. The trial court, on April 3, 2008, entered a final summary judgment in favor of Appellee on its counterclaims against Appellant. Appellant has filed a separate notice of appeal from the final summary judgment on Appellee's counterclaims and that appeal has been docketed as cause number 08-08-00154-CV. By taking a non-suit, Appellant dismissed his claims in the trial court and rendered his attempted appeal of the interlocutory order moot. See Tex.R.Civ.P. 162. We grant the motion and dismiss the appeal.
