IN RE: TED EUGENE SLANKER, JR.
Original Mandamus Proceeding
Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Carter
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Ted Eugene Slanker, Jr., Relator, filed a petition for writ of mandamus asking this Court to grant him relief from an order signed June 11, 2013, by the County Court at Law of Lamar County directing him to pay $3,000.00 per month in spousal support and $10,000.00 to opposing counsel for attorney's fees, expenses, and mediation fees in the underlying divorce and property proceeding. Along with that petition, Slanker also filed a motion for temporary relief requesting that this Court stay enforcement of the order pending decision on the mandamus. This Court granted the motion and stayed the trial court's order.
In the months following the stay, the parties to the underlying divorce and property dispute reached a settlement of the issues raised by the mandamus action. As a result, Slanker no longer wishes to prosecute the petition for writ of mandamus. Accordingly, the mandamus is moot.
We dismiss this petition for writ of mandamus as moot.
Jack Carter
Justice
