IN RE Rosendo MARTINEZ
Original Mandamus Proceeding
This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 1983-CR-0599B-W1, styled The State of Texas v. Rosendo Martinez, pending in the 227th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas, the Honorable Philip A. Kazen Jr. presiding.
ORDER
Sitting: Marialyn Barnard, Justice
Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice
Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
On April 28, 2014, relator filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus raising two separate bases for mandamus relief. This court is without jurisdiction to consider relator's complaint related to his pending application for post-conviction habeas corpus relief. Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is DISMISSED IN PART FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION. With respect to relator's complaint that the trial court failed to rule on a pending motion within a reasonable time, the court has considered relator's petition and the response filed on behalf of the respondent judge and has determined that the petition is now moot. Accordingly, relator's petition for writ of mandamus is DENIED IN PART AS MOOT. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). Relator's request for leave to file the petition for writ of mandamus is also DENIED AS MOOT. The court's opinion will issue at a later date.
It is so ORDERED on May 29th, 2014.
