IN RE JAMES ALLEN STOKES
________________________________________________________________________
Original Proceeding
County Court at Law No. 3 of Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 243377
________________________________________________________________________
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator James Allen Stokes filed a petition for writ of mandamus, in which
he asked this Court to compel the trial judge to rule on his speedy trial motion. We
requested a response from the State, and the State filed a response containing the
trial court’s order, dated November 28, 2016, which dismissed the case in which
Stokes’s speedy trial motion was filed.
Because the trial court has dismissed the case in which Stokes filed his
speedy trial motion, this original proceeding is moot. Accordingly, we dismiss the
petition for writ of mandamus as moot.
