IN RE:  ANTHONY E. GILL

                                                                                                                                                             

Original Mandamus Proceeding

                                                                                                                                                             
                          

Before Morriss, C.J., Ross and Carter, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Carter

MEMORANDUM OPINION

            Anthony E. Gill has filed a petition for writ of mandamus in which he asks this Court to order
the 23rd Judicial District Court of Brazoria County to proceed with a hearing on his damages in
connection with an underlying civil lawsuit in which a default judgment had been rendered.
 
            We requested a response, and have now been informed that a date has been set for that
hearing and that Gill will be bench warranted to the district court for the day of the hearing.            When this Court cannot take any action that can effect the requested relief, and thus the order
will  have  no  practical  result,  we  will  dismiss  the  petition for writ of mandamus  as  moot.  Dow
Chem. Co. v. Garcia, 909 S.W.2d 503, 505 (Tex. 1995).
            The relief sought by Gill is moot. 
            We deny the petition for writ of mandamus.
