                              151st District Court
                             Harris County, Texas
                       Trial Court Cause No. 2022-57422

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On August 21, 2023, relator Kirby Offshore Marine, LLC filed a petition for
writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221; see also Tex.
R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Mike
Engelhart, presiding judge of the 151st District Court of Harris County, to set aside
his August 9, 2023 order denying relator’s motion for leave to conduct limited
additional discovery.

      On October 25, 2023, relator filed a motion to dismiss this original proceeding
because the parties have settled the matter that is the subject of this proceeding.
Relator’s request for relief is now moot. The motion is GRANTED.

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

                                  PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Wise, Zimmerer, and Poissant.
