MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM.

Relator filed a petition for a writ of mandamus complaining of Judge Hardin's April 1, 2003 order compelling discovery. Relator and the real parties in interest have since settled the underlying lawsuit,¹ and relator has filed an unopposed motion to dismiss its petition.

1 The Honorable Ben Hardin, judge of the 23rd District Court of Brazoria County, Texas. The underlying lawsuit is Weeks v. Crown Cork Seal Co., No. 19114*BH02 (23rd Dist. Ct., Brazoria County, Tex.).

We grant the motion and dismiss as moot the petition for a writ of mandamus.
