IN RE STEADFAST FUNDING, LLC, ET AL., Relators
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relators, Steadfast Funding, LLC, et al., have filed a motion to dismiss their
petition for a writ of mandamus as moot, stating that the respondent district judge
has since ruled on the pending motions it challenged in the petition.1 See TEX. R.
APP. P. 42.1(a)(1). No opinion has issued. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1), (c).

The underlying case is 2017 Yale Dev. LLC v. Steadfast Funding, LLC, et al., Cause
No. 2016-64847, pending in the 190th District Court of Harris County, Texas, the
Honorable Beau A. Miller presiding.
Because the respondent has since ruled on the pending motions challenged by
the petition, this Court no longer has jurisdiction to grant relief because the petition
has been rendered moot. See Tex. A&M Univ.–Kingsville v. Yarbrough, 347 S.W.3d
289, 290–91 (Tex. 2011); In re Jackson, No. 01-12-00020-CV, 2012 WL 405707,
at *1 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] Feb. 9, 2012, orig. proceeding) (per curiam)
(mem. op.) (dismissing mandamus petition as moot after relator received relief
requested).
Accordingly, we grant relators’ motion and dismiss the petition as moot. See
TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1), 43.2(f). We dismiss as moot the real parties in interests’
motion/renewed motion for sanctions. See TEX. R. APP. P. 45.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Keyes, Kelly, and Goodman.
