IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. WR-66,153-01

DAMIEN G. BUCHANAN, Relator

v.

 228th JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, Respondent

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
CAUSE NOS. 976115-A & 976116-A

FROM HARRIS COUNTY

 Per curiam.

O R D E R

	Relator has filed a motion for leave to file a writ of mandamus pursuant to the original
jurisdiction of this Court.  In it, he contends that he filed two applications for a writ of habeas corpus
in the 228th Judicial District Court of Harris County, that more than 35 days have elapsed, and that
the applications have not yet been forwarded to this Court. Relator contends that the district court
entered orders designating issues on April 26, 2005, for cause number 976115-A and on April 28,
2005, for cause number 976116-A.
	 In these circumstances, additional facts are needed.  The respondent, the judge of the 228th
District Court of Harris County, is ordered to file a response with this Court by having the District
Clerk submit the records on such habeas corpus applications or by setting out the reasons that no
findings have been made since the orders designating issues were entered.  This application for leave
to file a writ of mandamus will be held in abeyance until the respondent has submitted the
appropriate response.  Such response shall be submitted within 30 days of the date of this order.
