IN RE VERNON HILL WILLIAMS, Relator
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On March 10, 2003, counsel for relator, Vernon Hill Williams, filed in this Court a petition for writ of mandamus requesting that we compel respondent (1) to permit the notice of appeal filed in cause number 875224 to be forwarded to the appropriate court of appeals by the Harris County District Clerk's office in compliance with Rule 25.2(e) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(e). On March 17, 2003, we requested a response. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.4.
Respondent notified the Court by letter dated March 21, 2003 that the notice of appeal in cause number 875224 had been filed, and that, if he had not already done so, respondent was directing the district clerk to file relator's notice of appeal immediately.
Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is denied as moot.
It is so ORDERED.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Taft, Keyes, and Higley.
