Original Proceeding

252nd District Court of Jefferson County, Texas

Trial Cause No. 92153

________________________________________________________________________

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relator Raymond Young filed a petition for writ of mandamus, in which he asked this Court to compel the trial judge to rule upon his post-conviction motion for forensic DNA testing. We requested a response from the State, and the State filed an appendix containing the trial court’s appealable order, dated October 31, 2016, denying Young’s motion. On November 9, 2016, Young filed a notice of appeal, which stated that he was appealing the trial court’s order denying his motion, and we docketed that proceeding as No. 09-16-00432-CR, Raymond Young v. The State of Texas .

1

We conclude that because the trial court has now ruled upon Young’s post- conviction motion for DNA testing, this original proceeding is moot. Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus as moot.

PETITION DISMISSED.
