IN RE RAYMOND YOUNG
________________________________________________________________________
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.
