      On October 10, 2018, relators Ghazala Butt, M.D., Janis Snyder, CRNA, and
The Methodist Hospital filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex.
Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (West Supp. 2017); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the
petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Bill Burke, presiding judge
of the 189th District Court of Harris County, to grant relators’ motion for leave to
designate certain persons as responsible third parties.

      On October 15, 2018, relators filed a motion to dismiss their petition for writ
of mandamus because the parties have agreed to settle the case.

      We GRANT the motion and dismiss relators’ petition for writ of mandamus.

                                       PER CURIAM
