                  IN RE ALEX EDUARDO LECHIN, Relator

            Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Relator, Alex Eduardo Lechin, has filed a petition for writ of mandamus

seeking to compel the trial court to withdraw its order denying his motion to recuse

and amended motion to disqualify and to enter an order disqualifying the trial court
judge.1 Before our opinion issued, relator filed a motion to dismiss his petition. See

In re Livesay, No. 01-02-01120-CV, 2003 WL 139729, at *1 (Tex. App.—Houston

[1st Dist.] Jan. 9, 2003, orig. proceeding) (“Ordinarily, we will dismiss an original

proceeding upon the filing by relator of a motion to dismiss with the clerk of this

Court.”) (citing TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)). Ten days have passed without a response.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 10.3(a).

      Accordingly, we grant relator’s motion and dismiss this original proceeding.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1), 43.2(f); see also TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). We dismiss

any pending motions as moot.
