                                             PER CURIAM
         On August 15, 2013, this Court delivered an opinion conditionally granting the petition
for writ of mandamus filed by Park Cities Bank, Thomas Youngblood, Michael Merritt, John
Dienes, Steven Metzger, Brian Neitzel, Todd Ashbrook, Michael Saks, and PCB Smith County
Properties, LLC (Relators). That opinion directed Respondent to vacate his order signed on
September 12, 2012, partially granting Lewie Anderton’s motion to overrule Relators’ claims of
privilege and granting Anderton’s motion to compel discovery responses.
         Respondent complied with this court’s opinion and order on August 23, 2013. All issues
attendant to this original proceeding having been disposed of, this proceeding has now been
rendered moot; therefore, the writ need not issue. Accordingly, this original proceeding is
dismissed as moot.
Opinion delivered September 18, 2013.
Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Griffith, J., and Hoyle, J.
