RE: Court of Appeal_s Number:- 08-15-00341-CR Trial Court Case Number: 69262 Style: In Re: Jimmy Lee Sweed CLERK·'**Denis~** Pacheco

.... ·•

The Honorable Court of Appeals today rendered its opinion denying Relator's petition for writ of mandamus, in accordance with the.opinion ofthis Court. (OPINION AND JUDGMENT ENCLOSED). Respectfully yours, DENISE PACHECO, CLERK

# '-~yO~fN RE: JIMMY LEE SWEED, Relator. COURT OF APPEALS EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS EL PASO, TEXAS
No. 08-15-00341-CR § § § § ORIGINAL PROCEEDING ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS JUDGMENT The Court has considered this cause on the Relator's petition for writ of mandamus against the Honorable Bonnie Rangel, Judge of the 171st District Court of El Paso County, Texas, and concludes that Relator's petition for writ of mandamus should be denied. We therefore deny the petition for writ of 1 mandamus, in accordance with the opinion of this Court.
IT IS SO ORDERED THIS 11TH DAY OF DECEMBER, 2015.

STEVEN L. HUGHES, Justice Before McClure, C.J., Rodriguez, and Hughes, JJ.lN RE: JIMMY LEE SWEED,
Relator. COURT OF APPEALS EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS EL PASO, TEXAS
No. 08-15-00341-CR § § ORIGINAL PROCEEDING § ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF § MANDAMUS MEMORANDUM OPINION Relator, Jimmy Lee Sweed, has filed a petition for writ of mandamus against the
Honorable Bonnie Rangel, Judge of the 171 st District Court of El Paso County, Texas, alleging
that Respondent has not ruled on a post-conviction motion filed in cause number 69262: We deny mandamus relief.
To be entitled to mandamus relief, a relator must meet two requirements. First, the
relator must show that the trial court clearly abused its discretion

.. In re Prudential Insurance Compan'y ofAmerica, 148 S.W.3d 124, 135 (Tex. 2004).**Se~ond~the** relator must**d~monstrate** that there is no adequate remedy by appeal. !d. at 135-36. Mandamus may issue to compel a trial court to rule on a motion which has been pending before the court for a reasonable period of
time. See In re Shredder Co., 225 S.W.3d 676, 679 (Tex.App.--El Paso 2006, orig. proceeding);
In re Hearn, 137 S.W.3d 681, 685 (Tex.App.--San Antonio 2004, orig. proceeding); In re Chavez, 62 S.W.3d 225,228 (Tex.App.--Amarillo 2001, orig. proceeding). To obtain mandamus
relief for such refusal, a relator must establish: (1) the motion was properly filed and has beenpending for a reasonable time; (2) the relator requested a ruling on the motion; and (3) the trial
court refused to rule. See Shredder Co., 225 S.W.3d at 679; Hearn, 137 S.W.3d at 685; Chavez,
62 S.W.3d at 228. Relator has failed to establish that he is entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus.
