IN RE ROBERT BURNS MCCALL ________________________________________________________________________ Original Proceeding 435th District Court of Montgomery County, Texas Trial Cause No. 14-07-07294-CV ________________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION In a mandamus petition, Robert Burns McCall complains that the trial court failed to rule on a motion for change of venue and a motion for appointment of an expert. On June 12, 2017, we identified defects in his petition and notified McCall that he must correct the defects no later than July, 12, 2017. McCall failed to amend his petition or provide additional documents to support his claims. After having been provided with an opportunity to file a proper mandamus petition, McCall has not demonstrated his entitlement to mandamus relief. Accordingly, the petition is denied.

PETITION DENIED.
