for temporary relief in the above cause on April 26, 2013. The Court granted the motion

for temporary relief and requested that the real party in interest, Joe Williamson

Construction Co. Inc. (“Williamson”), file a response to the petition. Williamson filed its

response to the petition for writ of mandamus on May 15, 2013.                      Relator shortly

not required to do so.”); TEX. R. APP. P. 47.4 (distinguishing opinions and memorandum opinions).
unopposed motion to dismiss this original proceeding on grounds that the parties have

fully and finally compromised and settled all matters in controversy between them.

      The Court, having examined and fully considered “Relator’s Unopposed Motion

to Voluntarily Dismiss Original Proceeding,” is of the opinion that the motion should be

granted.   Accordingly, the Court LIFTS the stay previously imposed by this Court,

GRANTS “Relator’s Unopposed Motion to Voluntarily Dismiss Original Proceeding,” and

DISMISSES this cause AS MOOT without reference to the merits thereof. Pending

motions, if any, are likewise DISMISSED AS MOOT. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).

      IT IS SO ORDERED.
