Heather Esters filed an original mandamus proceeding complaining of the trial court’s February 3, 2017 order granting Melinda Warner’s motion for new trial. On October 18, 2017, this Court conditionally granted Esters’s petition and directed Respondent to vacate his February 3 order and render judgment on the jury’s verdict. By a judgment signed on October 25, 2017, and an order signed on November 3, 2017, Respondent has complied with this Court’s opinion and order, rendering this proceeding moot. Accordingly, we dismiss Esters’s petition for writ of mandamus as moot .

Opinion delivered November 15, 2017.
