IN RE KEVIN WAYNE HARRIS, Relator
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator Kevin Wayne Harris filed in this Court a pro se motion for leave to file a petition for writ of mandamus and a petition for writ of mandamus. The motion for leave to file is granted. However, we dismiss the petition as moot.
Relator requests that we direct respondent to comply with this Court’s order of abatement that issued on October 16, 2003 in cause number 01-03-00757-CR, in which we directed the trial court to conduct an indigency hearing and, if it found relator to be indigent, appoint counsel to prosecute the appeal. Cause number 01-03-00757-CR is relator’s appeal of respondent’s denial of his motion for forensic testing of DNA evidence in cause number 601873.
On March 4, 2004, we issued an order reinstating the appeal in cause number 01-03-00757-CR because we had received a supplemental clerk’s record reflecting that respondent found relator to be indigent and appointed Danny Easterling to represent him on appeal. Our order also established a briefing schedule.
The petition for writ of mandamus is therefore denied as moot.
