Fourth Court of Appeals
                                        San Antonio, Texas
                                                June 21, 2023

                                            No. 04-23-00381-CV

                 IN RE CENTRAL FREIGHT LINES, INC. and Jaime Rodriguez

                                     Original Mandamus Proceeding 1

                                                   ORDER

        On April 18, 2023, Relators filed a petition for writ of mandamus and an emergency motion
for temporary relief. Relators’ petition sought to vacate the trial court’s March 28, 2023 order
which excluded some of Relators’ proffered evidence. The emergency motion asked this court to
stay the trial court’s May 1, 2023 trial setting pending final disposition of Relators’ petition for
writ of mandamus.

        On April 24, 2023, we granted Relators’ request for a stay, and we requested a response.

          On June 7, 2023, Real Parties in Interest filed an unopposed motion to dismiss this
mandamus proceeding as moot. They explained that, in the underlying case, Real Parties in
Interest withdrew their previous objections to Relators’ proffered evidence, and they moved the
trial court to vacate is March 28, 2023 order. The trial court granted Real Parties in Interest’s
motion, it vacated the order Relators had complained of, and it expressly allows Relators to offer
at trial the previously excluded exhibits.

      We grant Real Parties in Interest’s unopposed motion to dismiss Relators’ petition for writ
of mandamus as moot, and we vacate our April 24, 2023 order which stayed the trial setting.

        It is so ORDERED on June 21, 2023.

                                                                      _____________________________
