NO. 12-17-00214-CV IN THE COURT OF APPEALS TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT TYLER, TEXAS IN RE: § E.B., § RELATOR § ORIGINAL PROCEEDING MEMORANDUM OPINION PER CURIAM On July 6, 2017, E.B. filed an original proceeding in which he challenged Respondent’s temporary orders based on a Rule 11/Informal Conference Agreement between the parties in a divorce proceeding. On October 18, this Court conditionally granted E.B.’s petition and directed Respondent to vacate his April 27, 2017 temporary orders regarding child support, conservatorship, and possession. M.B. filed a petition for writ of mandamus with the Texas Supreme Court and the Supreme Court granted a stay of this Court’s October order. See In re M.B., No. 17-0944 (Tex. Nov. 30, 2017) (order). Subsequently, the Texas Supreme Court denied M.B.’s petition, without an opinion, and lifted its stay. See In re M.B., No. 17-0944 (Tex. June 8, 2018) (notice). Accordingly, given the Supreme Court’s ruling, by an order signed on July 9, 2018, Respondent complied with this Court’s October 2017 opinion and order, rendering this proceeding moot. We dismiss E.B.’s petition for writ of mandamus as moot. Opinion delivered July 18, 2018. Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Hoyle, J., and Neeley, J.
