In re Keith Russell Judd

Summary

The Texas Court of Appeals, Third District, denied Keith Russell Judd’s pro se petition for writ of mandamus. Judd sought to compel the district court to rule on motions concerning his attempted placement on the 2012 presidential primary ballot, challenges to President Barack Obama’s ballot eligibility, and voting rights for incarcerated felons; the court concluded that the record did not establish entitlement to mandamus relief.

Holdings

1. Judd was not entitled to mandamus relief because the record did not permit the court to determine that the district court had abused its discretion or that Judd lacked an adequate appellate remedy.

Questions Presented

1. Whether Judd was entitled to mandamus relief compelling the district court to rule on his alleged pending motions.
