Delivered and Filed: August 16, 2018

PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED

           Relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus asking this court to order the El Paso City

Clerk (“the city clerk”) to place its re-proposed ordinance on the November 6, 2018 ballot. Relator

also filed a motion to expedite consideration of the petition for writ of mandamus. The city clerk

filed a response.

           The motion to expedite this original proceeding is GRANTED. After considering the

petition and response, this court concludes relator is not entitled to the relief sought. Accordingly,

the petition for writ of mandamus is DENIED. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).
