                 TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT
                                            TYLER, TEXAS

IN RE:                                                    §
JOHN JACOB PRESLEY,                                       §   ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
RELATOR                                                   §

                                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
                                            PER CURIAM
         In this original proceeding, filed on October 16, 2015, Relator seeks a writ of mandamus
directing the trial court to rule on Relator’s motions for leave to conduct discovery and
appointment of counsel. On November 9, 2015, Relator filed a notice of appeal in this Court’s
cause number 12-15-00276-CR, complaining of the trial court’s rulings on these motions. In the
notice of appeal, Relator recites that the trial court signed a written order on October 20, 2015,
denying his motions for leave to conduct discovery and appointment of counsel. Thus, Relator
has obtained the relief sought in his petition for writ of mandamus. Accordingly, we dismiss
Relator’s petition for writ of mandamus as moot. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).
Opinion delivered November 18, 2015.
Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Hoyle, J., and Neeley, J.
