MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relators, Bahram Khadjenouri and Carol Adair, have filed an application for temporary relief and a petition for writ of mandamus complaining of the order, signed by the trial court on May 2, 2005, striking their petition, which relied on their claimed standing as grandparents and sought to intervene in a suit affecting the parent-child relationship in which the Department of Family and Protective Services (the Department) seeks to terminate the parental rights of Philip Hoevker to his children, Hunter Cyrus-Khadjenouri Hoevker and Gavin Bijan-Khadjenouri Hoevker. On May 27, 2005, we temporarily stayed proceedings in the trial court and requested a response by the Department, which filed its response on June 17, 2005. We deny the petition for a writ of mandamus and vacate our stay order of May 27, 2005 in trial court cause number 2004-02815J, styled In the Interest of Hunter Cyrus-Khadjenouri Hoevker and Gavin Bijan-Cyrus-Khadjenouri Hoevker, pending in the 313th District Court of Harris County. TEX. R. APP. P. 52.10. We deny all pending motions.
