Original Mandamus Proceeding.
Before MORRISS, C.J., CARTER and MOSELEY, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Bobby Yates filed a petition for writ of mandamus in which he asked this Court to order the 6th Judicial District Court of Lamar County to withdraw a gag order entered in connection with an underlying sexual assault case, and also to direct that court to withdraw its denial of his motion for continuance. We have received a response from the trial judge, with copies of orders attached which rescind the gag order in its entirety and grant a continuance so that a newly retained attorney can represent Yates at trial. The issues raised by the mandamus are therefore moot. We deny the petition for writ of mandamus.
