Do not publish. Tex.R.App.P. 47.2(b).
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
Panel consists of Kelly, Countiss, and Rivas-Molloy, Justices.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
Relator William Lester Rice, Jr., incarcerated and proceeding pro se, filed a "[Fif]th Amended Motion to Disqualify," seeking to disqualify the trial court on the alleged basis that the trial court has a "personal interest" in the underlying case. We interpret Relator's motion to be a petition for writ of mandamus. We deny the petition. Tex.R.App.P. 52.8(a). Any pending motions are denied as moot.
The underlying case is William Lester Rice, Jr. v. The State of Texas, Cause No. 857604, in the 185th District Court of Harris County, Texas, the Honorable Andrea Beall presiding.
