IN RE LEON HARRISON, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS 230th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court No. 635921

MEMORANDUM OPINION On August 13, 2012, relator Leon Harrison, an inmate proceeding in forma pauperis, filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code §22.221; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Belinda Hill, presiding judge of the 230th District Court of Harris County, to conduct a hearing and appoint new counsel to represent him in a motion for post- conviction forensic DNA testing pursuant to Chapter 64 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure.

On August 17, 2012, relator filed a motion to withdraw his petition for writ of mandamus, stating that he and his attorney have “come to an understanding” with the respondent and are proceeding with his post-conviction case. We grant relator’s request.

Accordingly, we order the petition for writ of mandamus dismissed.
