PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DISMISSED

           On April 18, 2023, Relators filed a petition for writ of mandamus and an emergency motion

for temporary relief. Relators’ petition sought to vacate the trial court’s March 28, 2023 order

which excluded some of Relators’ proffered evidence. The emergency motion asked this court to

stay the trial court’s May 1, 2023 trial setting pending final disposition of Relators’ petition for

writ of mandamus.

           On April 24, 2023, we granted Relators’ request for a stay, and we requested a response.

trial court to vacate is March 28, 2023 order. The trial court granted Real Parties in Interest’s

motion, it vacated the order Relators had complained of, and it expressly allows Relators to offer

at trial the previously excluded exhibits.

       We grant Real Parties in Interest’s unopposed motion to dismiss Relators’ petition for writ

of mandamus as moot, and we vacate our April 24, 2023 order which stayed the trial setting.
