MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relators Zulema Carrillo, Davie Johnson, and Adan Dominguez seek a writ of mandamus against the Honorable Max W. Higgs, Judge of the Probate Court of El Paso County. The dispute arises out of Judge Higgs appointment of the Real Party in Interest, Terry W. Hammond, as master in chancery in several guardianship cases. Mandamus will lie only to correct a clear abuse of discretion. Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 840 (Tex. 1992)(orig. proceeding). Moreover, there must be no other adequate remedy at law. Id. After the mandamus petition was filed, Judge Higgs withdrew the portions of the orders appointing Hammond to serve as master in chancery thereby rendering this original proceeding moot. Accordingly, we deny mandamus relief. See Tex.R.App.P. 52.8(a).
