                IN RE TULIO WILFREDO ESCOBAR, Relator

            Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

                        MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Relator, Tulio Wilfredo Escobar, has filed a petition for writ of mandamus,

seeking to compel respondent, the Honorable Mark Kent Ellis, to sign a

certification of defendant’s right of appeal in the underlying case and forward

relator’s notice of appeal and the record to this Court.1 This Court’s records reflect

      District Court of Harris County, Texas, the Honorable Mark Kent Ellis presiding.
clerk’s record, and a supplemental clerk’s record that includes a certification of

defendant’s right of appeal, and the matter is currently pending in appellate cause

number 01-15-00154-CR.

      Because relator has received the relief requested in his mandamus petition,

we dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus as moot. See In re Jackson, No. 01-

12-00020-CV, 2012 WL 405707, at *1 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] Feb. 9,

2012, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.) (citing In re Duncan, 62 S.W.3d 333, 334 (Tex.

App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, orig. proceeding)).
