mandamus, invoking our constitutional authority to issue writs of mandamus in criminal law matters.

2019 and remains in effect pending further order from this Court.
                                                                                                      2

        The Court has received briefing from Real Party in Interest Michael Stovall. Respondent, the

Fourth Court of Appeals, is invited to respond to Relator’s application within 30 days of the date of

this order. This application for leave to file a writ of mandamus will be held in abeyance until further
