Opinion

NO. 12-08-00194-CV IN THE COURT OF APPEALS TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT TYLER, TEXAS § IN RE: DEBRA ANN PERKINS, RELATOR § ORIGINAL PROCEEDING § MEMORANDUM OPINION PER CURIAM Deborah Ann Perkins filed this original mandamus proceeding complaining that the trial court had failed to rule on various pretrial motions, effectively causing the trial of her suit to be indefinitely postponed. We requested a response to Perkins’s petition for writ of mandamus, following which the trial court provided us with orders showing that it had ruled on all but Perkins’s first amended motion in limine.

Nothing in Perkins’s mandamus petition indicates that the trial court’s failure to rule on the motion in limine would cause any further postponement of trial. Consequently, we requested Perkins to show, on or before June 2, 2008, why this proceeding should not be dismissed as moot. To date, Perkins has not made the requested showing. Accordingly, this original proceeding is dismissed as moot.

Opinion delivered June 11, 2008.

Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Griffith, J. and Hoyle, J.
