IN RE KEVIN WAYNE HARRIS, Relator

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM  OPINION

               Relator Kevin Wayne Harris filed in this Court a pro se motion for leave to
file a petition for writ of mandamus and a petition for writ of mandamus.  The motion
for leave to file is granted.  However, we dismiss the petition as moot.
               Relator requests that we direct respondent
 to comply with this Court’s
order of abatement that issued on October 16, 2003 in cause number 01-03-00757-CR, in which we directed the trial court to conduct an indigency hearing and, if it
found relator to be indigent, appoint counsel to prosecute the appeal.  Cause number
01-03-00757-CR  is relator’s appeal of respondent’s denial of his motion for forensic
testing of DNA evidence in cause number 601873. 
               On March 4, 2004, we issued an order reinstating the appeal in cause
number 01-03-00757-CR because we had received a supplemental clerk’s record
reflecting that respondent found relator to be indigent and appointed Danny
Easterling to represent him on appeal.  Our order also established a briefing schedule.
               The petition for writ of mandamus is therefore denied as moot.
