                         ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
                           WRIT OF MANDAMUS
                              133rd District Court
                             Harris County, Texas
                       Trial Court Cause No. 2020-76781

                        MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On July 7, 2022, relator Domino's Pizza LLC filed a petition for writ of
mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code § 22.221; see also Tex. R. App. P.
52.   In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Jaclanel
McFarland, presiding judge of the 133rd District Court of Harris County, to vacate
her June 21, 2022 order denying relator’s motion for protection from certain
specified deposition topics.

      On August 23, 2022, we abated this original proceeding and ordered the
parties to mediate the underlying case. On February 2, 2023, relator filed a motion
for voluntary dismissal of this original proceeding because the parties have settled
the underlying case. Relator’s request for relief is now moot. The motion is
GRANTED. We lift our August 23, 2022 abatement and reinstate this original
proceeding on the court’s docket.

      Accordingly, we dismiss relator’s petition for writ of mandamus for lack of
jurisdiction.

                                    PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Christopher and Justices Wise and Jewell.
