In The
Fourteenth Court of Appeals
NO. 14-13-00552-CV
IN RE STATE FARM LLOYDS, Relator
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
11th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2009-71356
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator State Farm Lloyds filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this
court. See Tex. Gov’t Code §22.221; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition,
relator asks this court to order the Honorable Mike D. Miller, Judge of the 11th
District Court in Harris County, Texas, to set aside his order dated June 24, 2013,
entered in trial court cause number 2009-71356, styled Natividad and Maria Yanez
v. State Farm Lloyds. Relator claims that the trial court abused its discretion in
compelling production of irrelevant and burdensome discovery and it has no
adequate remedy by appeal.
Relator also filed a motion for a temporary stay of the trial court’s order. See
Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(b), 52.10. On June 27, 2013, this court granted the motion
and issued a stay of the June 24, 2013, order pending our consideration of this
proceeding.
On August 5, 2013, the parties advised this court that the underlying case
has been tried to a verdict, rendering this proceeding moot. Accordingly, our stay
order is vacated and we order this proceeding dismissed as moot.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Chief Justice Hedges and Justices Frost and Donovan.
