IN RE ADOLFO SERRANO, Relator
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
Panel consists of Goodman, Hightower, and Guerra, Justices.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
Relator Adolfo Serrano filed a petition for writ of mandamus, claiming that the trial court had abused its discretion by signing an order on October 4, 2022 granting a motion to compel relator to respond to certain discovery responses in violation of his constitutional privilege against self-incrimination. Relator also stated that he would be filing an emergency motion to stay the trial court's order, but no motion was filed. The Court requested a response to the petition but no response was filed.
The underlying case is Quincey Chavis A/N/F B.C. v. Adolfo Serrano, Stronghold Specialty General LLC, Stronghold Specialty, LTD., and Cat-Spec, Ltd., cause number 2022-21527, pending in the 234th District Court of Harris County, Texas, the Honorable Lauren Reeder presiding.
The Court subsequently learned that the trial court had vacated its order of October 4, 2022. Accordingly, the Court issued an order on November 8, 2022, advising relator that the Court might dismiss the original proceeding unless relator filed a response within ten days explaining why the proceeding was not moot. No response was filed.
We dismiss this proceeding as moot. Any pending motions are also dismissed as moot.
