The court found that Paul Lawson, the petitioner, who is also a named defendant in a case that gave rise to the writ of prohibition and was settled last month and that because the underlying matter was settled, the writ was moot, according to the April 8 court document.
Lawson noted in an April 5 court document that the underlying matter had been settled. Miki J. Thompson | courtswv.gov
