                              157th District Court

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On Monday, June 27, 2022, relator Pulice Construction, Inc. filed a petition
for writ of mandamus in this Court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221; see also
Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this Court to compel the Honorable
Tanya Garrison, presiding judge of the 157th District Court of Harris County, to
vacate the trial court’s May 24, 2022 order denying Pulice’s Motion to Compel
Forensic Cellphone Examination.      Relator also asks this Court to compel the
Honorable Donna Roth to vacate her June 13, 2022 order denying Pulice’s Motion
to Reconsider the Court’s Order Denying Pulice’s Motion to Compel Forensic
Cellphone Examination, or in the Alternative, Pulice’s Amended Motion to
Compel Discovery and Inspection of the Cell Phone.1

        On July 13, 2022, relator notified the Court by letter that it no longer wished
to proceed on its petition for writ of mandamus because the parties had reached a
settlement in the underlying case.

        Accordingly, we dismiss relator’s petition for writ of mandamus as moot.

                                                  PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Bourliot, Hassan, and Wilson.
