                       IN RE PABLO BERNAL, Relator

            Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Relator Pablo Bernal filed a petition for writ of mandamus asking this Court

to order Respondent “to [v]acate its ruling of May 6, 2021, denying the Relator’s

Motion to Stay or Abate Arbitration, together with instructions to analyze and

identify the agreement, if any, to which both [p]arties are subject and the terms,
thereof.” In the alternative, Relator asks this Court “to issue a Writ of Mandamus

directing the Respondent to GRANT the Motion to Stay or Abate Arbitration.”1

      We deny the petition. TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). All pending motions are

dismissed as moot.

                                  PER CURIAM
