IN RE STEPHEN MCCARTY, Relator
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS
505th District Court Fort Bend County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 16-DCV-237771
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On April 9, 2020, relator Stephen McCarty filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable David Perwin, presiding judge of the 505th District Court of Fort Bend County, to set aside his April 3, 2020 order granting the motion to set aside the jury's verdict and for new trial. Relator also filed a motion seeking a stay of the trial court's proceedings.
On April 13, 2020, the trial court, sua sponte, signed an ordering reforming the April 3, 2020 order. Relator's request for relief is now moot.
Accordingly, we dismiss relator's petition for lack of jurisdiction. We also dismiss relator's motion to stay.
PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Bourliot, Hassan, and Poissant.
