                                         PER CURIAM
         On August 7, 2013, this Court delivered an opinion conditionally granting the petition for
writ of mandamus filed by ExxonMobil Corporation and Computershare Investor Services, LLC.
That opinion directed Respondent to vacate his order signed on April 25, 2013, granting the
motion for turnover of assets filed by Vivian Suzanne Kinard, Independent Executrix of the
Estate of Grace T. Eaton. The opinion also directed Respondent to issue an order denying
Kinard’s motion. Respondent has complied with our order and opinion of August 7, 2013.
         All issues attendant to this original proceeding having been disposed of, this mandamus
proceeding has now been rendered moot; therefore, the writ need not issue. Accordingly, this
original proceeding is dismissed as moot.
Opinion delivered September 6, 2013.
Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Griffith, J., and Hoyle, J.
