MEMORANDUM OPINION
On July 21, 2005, relator, Elene B. Glassman, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus to secure her release from the Harris County jail, where she had been incarcerated under the order of contempt signed by former Judge Russell P. Austin, now deceased, on June 16, 2005. On July 22, 2005, relator moved to dismiss the original proceeding on her petition for writ of habeas corpus because she had been released, mooting this proceeding. That same day, the Court granted relator's motion to dismiss; however, through an administrative oversight, the Court did not issue an opinion disposing of the original proceeding.
The Honorable Russell P. Austin, former judge of Probate Court No. 1 ofHarris County, Texas. The underlying lawsuit was In re Inter Vivos Trust of Helen Baernstein, No. 350,750 (Probate Ct. No. 1, Harris County, Tex.).
Accordingly, the Court now dismisses the original proceeding herein.
Any pending motions are denied as moot.
