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.

PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack and Justices Higley and Huddle.

Do not publish. TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).
