                    MOTION TO DISMISS ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
                     APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF PROHIBITION

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:

       COMES NOW KEVIN RICHARD JOLIET, hereinafter referred to as Relator, by and

through WES BALL, his attorney of record and files this Motion to Dismiss Original Proceeding

Application for Writ of Prohibition and in support thereof would show the Court as follows:

                                                I.

       On December 2, 2015 Relator filed his Application for Writ of Prohibition, Motion for

Leave to File Application for Writ of Prohibition and Emergency Motion Requesting Stay of

Trial Court Proceedings Pending Resolution of Writ with this Honorable Court. At the time of

this filing, Respondent proposed to enter an order depriving Relator of his liberty on Friday,

December 4, 2015. It was this proposed order for which Relator complained and sought a Writ

of Prohibition.

                                                II.

       On the morning of December 3, 2015, undersigned counsel for Relator was advised by

the Honorable Charles Reynold Tarrant County Judicial Staff Counsel that he was representing

Respondent. Mr. Reynolds advised Relator’s counsel that Respondent, after consultation with

counsel had decided to withdraw any proceedings to incarcerate Relator and deprive him of his

liberty. Relator’s counsel confirmed this decision by Relator with Respondent’s Chief Probation

Officer Doug Jones.

       Accordingly, the relief sought in Relator’s Application for Writ of Prohibition and the

accompanying Emergency Motion for a stay is no longer necessary as the future act complained

of will not occur. Undersigned counsel’s office contacted the Clerk of this Court by phone to

alert the Court that further action was no longer necessary and that a request to dismiss these

proceedings would be forthcoming in writing. This is that written request.

       WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, defendant prays that this Honorable Court

enter an ORDER dismissing this cause and Application for Writ of Prohibition.

                                            Respectfully submitted,

                                            /s/ Wes Ball
