IN RE HELMERICH & PAYNE, INC., AND 

HELMERICH & PAYNE INTERNATIONAL DRILLING CO.





Original Proceeding



MEMORANDUM OPINION 
	On February 27, 2006, Helmerich & Payne, Inc., and Helmerich & Payne
International Drilling Co. filed this petition for writ of mandamus.  We requested a response
from the real parties in interest.  On April 12, 2006, the relators notified the Court that the
underlying case settled and that they were no longer requesting mandamus relief from the
Court.
	Accordingly, the stay order entered February 27, 2006, is vacated and this original
proceeding is dismissed without reference to the merits.
	WRIT DISMISSED.
