      The underlying case is Bing Wang, M.D. v. M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, cause
      number 202231980, pending in the 165th District Court of Harris County, Texas,
      the Honorable Ursula A. Hall presiding.
requested a response to the petition from the real party in interest, Judge Hall issued

an order denying relator’s plea to the jurisdiction.

      Because Judge Hall has ruled on relator’s plea to the jurisdiction, we dismiss

the petition for writ of mandamus as moot. Any pending motions, including relator’s

motion to stay the underlying proceedings, are dismissed as moot.

                                   PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justice Goodman, Rivas-Molloy, and Guerra.
