IN RE RONALD E. JOHNSON, Relator

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

O P I N I O N
	Relator, Ronald E. Johnson, has filed a petition for writ of mandamus
complaining about the trial court's (1) failure to rule on his motions in his 1997 civil
rights suit seeking damages from a former Texas Department of Criminal Justice-Institutional Division correctional officer, and (2) hold a trial.  Relator also complains
that senior district judge Erwin G. Ernst continues to act in the case despite having
been recused.  On November 22, 2002, Johnson filed a motion to set a hearing in this
mandamus proceeding.
	We deny the petition for writ of mandamus.  All pending motions are denied.
