IN RE PHILLIP JOE BARNES, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

On January 8, 2003, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this Court.  See Tex. Gov=t. Code Ann. ' 22.221 (Vernon Supp. 2002); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.  In the petition, relator alleged the trial court had failed to comply with an order from this Court requiring the trial court to hold a hearing pursuant to rule 306a of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure.  We have learned the trial court held the hearing pursuant to this Court=s order on January 21, 2003.  Thus, the petition for writ of mandamus is moot. 

Accordingly, we deny relator=s petition for writ of mandamus as moot.

PER CURIAM

Petition Denied and Opinion filed January 30, 2003.

Panel consists of Justices Yates, Anderson, and Frost.
