Fourth Court of Appeals
                                        San Antonio, Texas
                                               August 2, 2023

                                            No. 04-23-00203-CR

                                  IN RE Mauricio Fernandez PINEDA

                                            Original Proceeding 1

                                                   ORDER

         On March 6, 2023, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus. Relator also filed a motion
to stay the underlying proceeding pending our final resolution of the petition for writ of mandamus,
which we granted in part on March 8, 2023.

        After considering the petition, real party in interest’s response, and this record, this court
concludes relator is partially entitled to the relief sought. Accordingly, the complaint raised in
relator’s petition for writ of mandamus that the trial court failed to rule on his application for writ
of habeas corpus is CONDITIONALLY GRANTED. The trial court is ORDERED to rule on
relator’s application for writ of habeas corpus filed on January 24, 2023 within 15 days of this
order’s issuance.

       The complaint raised in relator’s petition for writ of mandamus that the trial court failed to
rule on his motion to urge is DISMISSED as moot. The stay imposed on March 8, 2023 is
LIFTED.

        The writ will issue only if the trial court fails to comply with this order.

        It is so ORDERED on August 2, 2023.

                                                                     _____________________________
                                                                     Irene Rios, Justice

       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said
court on this 2nd day of August, 2023.

                                                                     _____________________________
                                                                     Michael A. Cruz, Clerk of Court
