IN RE BEST TRANSPORTATION SERVICE, INC., A/K/A MINK
INVESTMENTS, INC., A/K/A BEST DELIVERY SYSTEMS, INC., Relator
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator, Best Transportation Service, Inc., a/k/a Mink Investments, Inc.,
a/k/a Best Delivery Systems, Inc., has filed a petition for writ of mandamus
contending that respondent, the Honorable Elaine Palmer, abused her discretion in
denying relator’s request for an independent medical examination of real party in
interest, Todd Hatch.1 Because it appears that the trial court has signed a final
judgment in the underlying case and the proceeding is moot, the Clerk of this Court
issued a notice of intent to dismiss the petition unless the parties filed a response
demonstrating that the Court has jurisdiction over the proceeding. The parties have
not responded.
Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus as moot.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Jennings, Higley, and Sharp.

Service, Inc., a/k/a Mink Investments, Inc., a/k/a Best Delivery Systems, Inc. and
