                COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA,

                JUDGE,                                                    CLERK OF ii-L-P:-..;F:%1E COURT
                Respondents,                                             BY
                                                                                 tiu1.Y CLER-ic.
                  and
                THE STATE OF NEVADA,
                Real Party in Interest.

                     ORDER DISMISSING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS

                            This is an original petition for a writ of mandarnus seeking to
                compel the Eighth Judicial District Court clerk to transfer his petition for a
                writ of habeas corpus to the Eleventh Judicial District Court.
                            On September 23, 2021, this court entered an order directing
                real party in interest, on behalf of respondents, to file and serve an answer,
                including authorities, against issuance of the requested writ. No answer
                was filed, and on November 17, 2021, this court entered an order to show
                cause, directing both real party in interest and respondents to show cause
                why the requested writ should not issue and to file and serve an answer.
                            On December 14, 2021, respondents filed a response to our
                order to show cause, confirming that petitioner's petition for a writ of
                habeas corpus was transferred to the Eleventh Judicial District Court. It
                appears that this court is no longer able to grant the relief petitioner

                   requested, as it has been effectuated by the district court, and we thus
                   dismiss the instant petition as moot. See Personhood Nev. v. Bristol, 126
                   Nev 599, 602, 245 P.3d 572, 574 (2010) (holding that a case that initially
                   presents a live controversy may be rendered moot by subsequent events).
                              It is so ORDERED.
