ORDER DISMISSING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS

This is an original petition for a writ of mandarnus seeking to compel the Eighth Judicial District Court clerk to transfer his petition for a writ of habeas corpus to the Eleventh Judicial District Court. On September 23, 2021, this court entered an order directing real party in interest, on behalf of respondents, to file and serve an answer, including authorities, against issuance of the requested writ. No answer was filed, and on November 17, 2021, this court entered an order to show cause, directing both real party in interest and respondents to show cause why the requested writ should not issue and to file and serve an answer. On December 14, 2021, respondents filed a response to our order to show cause, confirming that petitioner's petition for a writ of habeas corpus was transferred to the Eleventh Judicial District Court. It appears that this court is no longer able to grant the relief petitioner
