in Re R.J.M.

Petition for Writ of Mandamus Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed August 23, 2016. In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-16-00285-CV IN RE R.J.M., Relator ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS 306th District Court Galveston County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 16CP0020 MEMORANDUM OPINION On April 8, 2016, relator R.J.M. filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (West 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Roy Quintanilla of the 306th District Court of Galveston County, to set aside his March 31, 2016 temporary order, removing the child from relator’s possession and appointing the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (the “Department”) temporary managing conservator of the child. The trial court signed an order, on June 23, 2016, placing the child with relator and, and another order, on August 9, 2016, granting the Department’s motion to nonsuit with respect to its pleadings, removing the Department as temporary managing conservator of the child, and releasing the Department from any further duties or responsibilities pursuant to any designation or authority granted by the court during the pendency of the case. The June 23, 2016 and August 9, 2016 orders render relator’s request for relief in her petition moot. Accordingly, we order relator’s petition for writ of mandamus dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Busby, Donovan, and Wise. 2
