IN RE: John DOGGETT, M.D., Independent Executor of the Estate of Jerry Lloyd Doggett, Relator

NO. 12-19-00300-CV

Decided: November 27, 2019

Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Hoyle, J., and Neeley, J.

M. Keith Dollahite, for Relator. Anthony King, for Real Party in Interest.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relator, John Doggett, M.D., independent executor of the Estate of Jerry Lloyd Doggett, filed this original proceeding seeking a writ of mandamus directing Respondent to vacate an order signed on March 7, 2019. Because Respondent signed the order outside her plenary power and the order materially changed substantive adjudicative portions of a 2016 judgment, on November 13, this Court conditionally granted Relator's petition and directed Respondent, the Honorable Janice Stone of the County Court at Law in Cherokee County, Texas, to vacate the 2019 order. See In re Doggett, No. 12-19-00300-CV, 2019 WL 5956676 (Tex. App.—Tyler Nov. 13, 2019, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.). By an order signed on November 14, Respondent complied with this Court's opinion and order, rendering this proceeding moot. Accordingly, we dismiss Relator's petition for writ of mandamus as moot.
