MEMORANDUM OPINION


In October 2007, this Court granted relator Maria Maya Hernandez's motion for emergency relief to halt an eviction. The motion for temporary relief was filed ancillary to Hernandez's petition for writ of mandamus, or, alternatively writ of injunction. This court granted relief in order to protect our jurisdiction over the subject matter of the mandamus and the underlying appeal. See In re Maria Maya Hernandez, slip op., No. 03-07-00620-CV (Tex.App.-Austin October 30, 2007).

The parties have now filed a joint agreed motion to dismiss based on a settlement agreement. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.2(a). Accordingly, we grant the motion and dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus.

Although it has no practical effect because the parties' settlement agreement calls for a June 30, 2008, move-out date, the dismissal of the petition for writ of mandamus and the underlying appeal results in the dissolution of the stay because we no longer have a case over which we have jurisdiction to protect. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221(a) (West 2004).
