arbitration they seek to stay attempts to “re-arbitrate and re-litigate an alleged

mistake” made in an earlier arbitration award that was confirmed by the trial court

in 2019. According to relators, they seek “to vindicate the policies that favor

arbitration and the finality of [the earlier arbitration] award.”

      We deny relators’ petition for writ of mandamus. All pending motions are

dismissed as moot.
