EX PARTE MICHAEL JOSEPH BENNETT

 

 

                                              ------------

 

             FROM THE 89TH DISTRICT COURT OF WICHITA COUNTY

 

                                              ------------

 

                                MEMORANDUM OPINION[1]

 

                                              ------------

On July 31, 2008, appellant Michael Joseph Bennett filed a notice of appeal from the trial court=s refusal to consider his application for writ of habeas corpus seeking an out-of-time petition for discretionary review from this court=s decision in Ex parte Bennett, 245 S.W.3d 616 (Tex. App.CFort Worth, 2008, pet. dism=d).


The court of criminal appeals has granted appellant an out-of-time petition for discretionary review.  Ex parte Bennett, No. AP-76112, 2009 WL 624016, at *1 (Tex. Crim. App. Mar. 11, 2009).  Because the court of criminal appeals granted appellant the relief he sought in his application for writ of habeas corpus, the appeal to this court of the trial court=s refusal to consider the application is moot.  See Jack v. State, 149 S.W.3d 119, 123 n. 10 (Tex. Crim. App. 2004).  Consequently, we dismiss the appeal.
