IN RE:                                                    §

MARVIN EARL TOLLIVER, JR.,                                §   ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

                                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
                                            PER CURIAM
         Relator Marvin Earl Tolliver, Jr., an inmate acting pro se, filed this original proceeding to
challenge Respondent’s denial of his request for production of documents. 1
         On April 8, 2021, the Clerk of this Court notified Relator that his petition for writ
of mandamus failed to comply with Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 52.3(a)–(h), (j), (k),
and 52.7. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3 (form and contents of petition); see also TEX. R. APP. P. 52.7
(record). The notice further informed Relator that his petition would be referred to the court for
dismissal unless he provided an amended petition and the record on or before April 19. On April
22, Relator filed a letter requesting that we withdraw his petition for writ of mandamus so that he
may properly format the petition and re-submit the petition at a later date. We construe the letter
as a motion to dismiss this original proceeding. Accordingly, we grant Relator’s motion to
dismiss, and we dismiss his petition for writ of mandamus.
Opinion delivered April 28, 2021.
