   MEMORANDUM

In their petition for a writ of mandamus, “Petitioners seek an order directing the district court to dismiss the HOAs’ [Home Owner Associations’] counterclaims....” Since the filing of the petition, however, those counterclaims have been dismissed by the district court. This mandamus proceeding, therefore, has been rendered moot because Petitioners have already obtained all of the relief they seek in this proceeding. See ACF Indus., Inc. v. Cal. State Bd. of Equalization, 42 F.3d 1286, 1292 (9th Cir.1994) (dismissing as moot an appeal from the denial of a motion to dismiss certain claims where the district court had subsequently dismissed those claims).

Petitioners contend that this proceeding has not been mooted by the dismissal of the HOAs’ counterclaims because there remain issues on which they seek a ruling from this court. Those issues, however, are not yet ripe for adjudication because the district court has not yet rendered a definitive ruling on them. Even if they were ripe, they do not meet the five-factor Bauman test to justify issuance of the writ. See Bauman v. U.S. Dist. Court, 557 F.2d 650, 654-55 (9th Cir.1977).

The petition is DENIED.
