Before QUINN and REAVIS, JJ. and BOYD, S.J. ^{(footnote: -6)}

MEMORANDUM OPINION ^{(footnote: 1)}

By this original proceeding, relator Preston Jerome White, proceeding pro se and informa pauperis , seeks a writ of mandamus to compel the Lubbock County District Clerk to provide him with a copy of the clerk’s record to prepare a pro se brief in response to an Anders ^{(footnote: 2)} brief filed by appellate counsel.  Under applicable principles of law, the petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed as moot.

The Lubbock County District Clerk has notified this Court that on December 11, 2002, a copy of the clerk’s record was forwarded to appellant.  Thus, this proceeding is moot.
