IN RE ALLAN LATOI STORY

Original Proceeding

From the 19th District Court

McLennan County, Texas

Trial Court No. 2011-2499-C1

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relator Allan Latoi Story filed a petition for writ of mandamus seeking to compel the respondent, the Judge of the 19th Judicial District Court of McLennan County, to rule on his motion requesting a copy of the clerk’s and reporter’s records that have been filed in appellate cause no. 10-20-00034-CR, Story’s pending appeal from an order denying his motion for post-conviction DNA testing under Chapter 64 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.1 The Court subsequently received a copy of the trial court’s order, ordering the district clerk to send Story a copy of the clerk’s and reporter’s records that have been filed in appellate cause no. 10-20-00034-CR. Because a ruling has been made on Story’s motion, Story’s petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed as moot. See Nat’l Collegiate Athletic Ass’n v. Jones, 1 S.W.3d 83, 86 (Tex. 1999) (“Appellate courts are prohibited from deciding moot controversies.”).
