TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                      NO. 03-11-00266-CV

                                                 v.

           Janet Lock, for herself and on behalf of all those similarly situated;

     FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 419TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
      NO. D-1-GN-10-000515, HONORABLE LORA J. LIVINGSTON, JUDGE PRESIDING

                            MEMORANDUM OPINION

               This proceeding is an interlocutory appeal from a district court order granting a

temporary injunction against appellant Livingston. During the pendency of this interlocutory appeal,

the underlying cause proceeded to a final judgment in which the district court granted permanent

injunctive relief against Livingston, who thereafter appealed from that final judgment.1 In light of

these developments, appellees have moved to dismiss the present interlocutory appeal as moot,

and Livingston does not oppose that disposition. We agree that Livingston’s interlocutory appeal

is now moot, see Isuani v. Manske-Sheffield Radiology Grp., P.A., 802 S.W.2d 235, 236-37

       1
           No. 03-12-00205-CV.
(Tex. 1991) (per curiam), and, accordingly, grant appellees’ motion and dismiss the appeal for

want of subject-matter jurisdiction.
