IN RE ROYAL INDEMNITY COMPANY
On November 21, 2007, Royal Indemnity Company filed a petition for writ of mandamus. Upon notice that the parties were negotiating a possible settlement, we granted an extension of time for filing the response. On January 25, 2008, we were notified that all claims and counterclaims between Royal Indemnity Company and MP Holdings III, Inc. had been dismissed with prejudice. We inquired whether the mandamus proceeding had been mooted by the settlement between the relator and the only party to whom the relator had been ordered to produce the documents that are the subject of this proceeding. The relator acknowledged that this proceeding is moot.
Accordingly, this original proceeding is dismissed without regard to the merits of the issues raised in the petition for writ of mandamus.
PETITION DISMISSED.
PER CURIAM
Opinion Delivered March 6, 2008
