        Relator, Texas Association of School Boards, Inc., filed a petition for writ of

mandamus in the above cause on June 1, 2009. The Court requested and received a

response to the petition for writ of mandamus from the real party in interest, and further

received a reply brief filed by relator. Relator has now filed an unopposed motion to

dismiss this original proceeding on grounds that the parties have settled and compromised

their dispute. Relator thus asks this Court to dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus as

moot.
