PER CURIAM In this original proceeding, filed on October 16, 2015, Relator seeks a writ of mandamus directing the trial court to rule on Relator’s motions for leave to conduct discovery and appointment of counsel. On November 9, 2015, Relator filed a notice of appeal in this Court’s cause number 12-15-00276-CR, complaining of the trial court’s rulings on these motions. In the notice of appeal, Relator recites that the trial court signed a written order on October 20, 2015, denying his motions for leave to conduct discovery and appointment of counsel. Thus, Relator has obtained the relief sought in his petition for writ of mandamus. Accordingly, we dismiss Relator’s petition for writ of mandamus as moot . See T EX . R. A PP . P. 52.8(a).
