IN RE EMILY EADS KNIPPA, Relator

Original Proceeding from the 256th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DF-22-13209

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Partida-Kipness, Nowell, and Miskel
Opinion by Justice Nowell
Before the Court are relator’s July 3, 2024 petition for writ of mandamus and

November 4, 2024 unopposed motion to dismiss. In her petition, relator challenges

an associate judge’s June 25, 2024 Order Granting Respondent’s Motion for Interim

Attorneys’ Fees. In her motion to dismiss, relator explains that, after a de novo

hearing, the trial court denied the motion for interim attorney’s fees, rendering this

proceeding moot.
We grant the motion and dismiss this original proceeding. We also lift the stay

issued by this Court’s July 5, 2024 Order.
