PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DISMISSED

           On December 29, 2016, Relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus complaining that the

trial court had not ruled upon a motion he filed in September, 2016. This court abated the

mandamus proceeding pursuant to the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See TEX. R. APP. P.

7.2(b) (“If the case is an original proceeding under Rule 52, the court must abate the proceeding

to allow the successor to reconsider the original party’s decision.”).

           On January 27, 2017, Relator filed a motion to dismiss in which he stated the trial court

ruled upon his motion on January 13, 2017. We order the abatement lifted and grant the motion

to dismiss.
