IN RE GEORGE HORACE RICHARDSON, Relator

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relator, George Horace Richardson, incarcerated and proceeding pro se, has filed a petition for a writ of mandamus seeking to compel the trial court to rule on his motion for new trial.1 A motion for new trial is overruled by operation of law if the trial court does not rule on the motion within seventy-five days after suspending or imposing sentence in open court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 21.8. Accordingly, relator has not demonstrated entitlement to mandamus relief.

We deny the petition.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack and Justices Jennings and Lloyd.
