                                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
                                            PER CURIAM
         McBride Operating, LLC filed this original proceeding to challenge Respondent’s denial
of its Rule 91a motion to dismiss. 1 On December 7, 2022, this Court conditionally granted the
petition and directed Respondent to vacate his August 18, 2022 order denying the motion to
dismiss, and in its stead, to issue an order granting the motion to dismiss, dissolving the
temporary injunction, and dismissing the case. By an order filed with this Court on December
15, Respondent complied with this Court’s opinion and order, rendering this proceeding moot.
Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus as moot.
Opinion delivered December 22, 2022.
Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Hoyle, J., and Neeley, J.




         Respondent is the Honorable James A. Payne, Jr., Judge of the 273rd District Court in Shelby County,
         1

Texas. The Real Parties in Interest are Terry Allen, Jan Allen, and Cypress Creek Farms, LLC.
