IN RE RONALD DWAYNE WHITFIELD, Relator
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
Panel consists of Justices Kelly, Goodman, and Guerra.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
Relator, Ronald Dwayne Whitfield, is a vexatious litigant subject to a prefiling order. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 11.101(a). Whitfield requested permission from the local administrative judge of Harris County, Texas to file two new actions, including: (1) a lawsuit to set aside as void the order of termination of Whitfield's parental rights in trial court cause number 2017-02559J and (2) a lawsuit against the Harris County Sheriff's Office for injuries Whitfield alleged he sustained in connection with an incident involving a Harris County Sheriff's deputy on or around February 18, 2018. On January 28, 2022, the local administrative judge entered two orders denying each of Whitfield's two requests for permission to file the actions. On February 22, 2022, Whitfield filed a petition for writ of mandamus with this Court challenging the administrative court's orders denying his requests. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 11.102(f).
Whitfield's petition for writ of mandamus is denied. Any pending motions are dismissed as moot.
