respond to the petition. Noble and Maciel have since agreed that the petition
should be conditionally granted. According, we lift the stay, conditionally grant
Noble’s petition for writ of mandamus, and direct the trial court to set aside its
order striking Noble’s pleadings. We are confident the trial court will promptly
comply, and our writ will issue only if the trial court does not comply. All
outstanding motions are dismissed as moot.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Jennings, Brown, and Huddle.
