TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                        NO. 03-07-00250-CV

                                        In re Juan Enriquez

                      ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM TRAVIS COUNTY

                             MEMORANDUM OPINION

                Juan Enriquez petitioned the Court for a writ of mandamus to compel the Judge of

the 345th District Court to act on Enriquez’s motion for partial summary judgment in cause number

D-1-GN-06-001219, styled Enriquez v. Owens. The Court asked for a response. The Judge wrote

a letter to the Court stating that Enriquez has never requested a setting for his motion and that the

Judge has instructed the court administrator to contact Enriquez regarding a setting. More generally,

the Judge assures the court that the district judges in Travis County have reviewed the practices and

procedures in the court administrator’s office to assure that all pro se litigants, including those in

prison, are treated fairly. Counsel for the real party in interest has also filed a response adopting the

Judge’s response.

                In light of this response, the petition for writ of mandamus is denied without prejudice

to Enriquez seeking relief at a later date. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).
