IN RE MICHAEL DONNELL PRUITT, Relator
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator, Michael Donnell Pruitt, proceeding pro se and incarcerated, has filed
an “Application For Writ of Mandamus” seeking to compel the respondents, listed
as “Chief District Attorney John Lewis” and “Judge Susan Brown,” to respond to
and rule on his pending pro se pre-trial motions for, among other things, an
examining trial and discovery in his underlying criminal proceeding.1 Relator has
also filed a pro se motion for leave to file this petition.
We construe the application as a petition for writ of mandamus and deny the
petition. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a), (d). We dismiss all pending motions as moot.
