What the panel ordered

Petition for Removal filed by applicant challenging an Order Quashing Subpoenas Duces Tecum dated 08/26/2021 in two cases, but petition included 5813 remedies in six cases, bypassing trial court level
What was disputed, and how it came out

Therefore the order to quash is moot, and by operation of law, the petition to remove the order to quash is also moot, as doing so would have no effect on the parties' discovery status.
