                                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
                                            PER CURIAM
         Allstate Fire and Casualty Insurance Company filed an original mandamus proceeding
complaining of the trial court’s May 24, 2017 order compelling discovery related to severed and
abated claims arising from uninsured/underinsured motorist insurance coverage and July 26
order denying Allstate’s motion for reconsideration. On November 8, 2017, this Court
conditionally granted Allstate’s petition and directed Respondent to vacate his May 24, 2017
order granting Margarita Galaz’s second motion to compel and its July 26 order denying
Allstate’s motion for reconsideration and ordering payment of Galaz’s attorney’s fees incurred as
a result of Allstate’s motion. By an order signed on November 9, Respondent has complied with
this Court’s opinion and order, rendering this proceeding moot. Accordingly, we dismiss
Allstate’s petition for writ of mandamus as moot.
Opinion delivered November 30, 2017.
Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Hoyle, J., and Neeley, J.
