In re Rafael Guillen

Summary

The Eighth District Court of Appeals of Texas dismissed as moot Rafael Guillen’s petition for writ of mandamus. The court had abated the proceeding to allow the successor judge of the 205th District Court of El Paso County to rule on Guillen’s motion for judgment nunc pro tunc; the successor judge granted the motion, eliminating the need for mandamus relief.

Holdings

1. The petition for writ of mandamus was moot because the successor trial judge granted Guillen's Motion for Judgment Nunc Pro Tunc, providing the requested relief.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the petition for writ of mandamus became moot after the successor trial judge granted the motion for which Guillen sought a ruling.

Disposition

dismissed
