IN RE: JOHNNY HINOJOS LUNA,
Relator
On Original Proceeding for Writ of Mandamus
Pending before the court is the application of Johnny Hinojos Luna, for a writ of mandamus. The petition is a request for us to order the Honorable Ana Estevez, 251st District Court, to act on his motion for “Nunc Pro Tunc,” wherein he claimed that he did not receive jail time credit while awaiting trial. We dismiss the petition as moot.
On June 14, 2010, we directed Judge Estevez to respond to relator's petition for mandamus. On June 18, 2010, Judge Estevez filed her response which included an “Order Granting Jail Time Credit Nunc Pro Tunc,” wherein she granted relator's motion and allotted him the requested jail time credit.1
Accordingly, we do not reach the merits of the issues raised, and the petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed as moot. See In re Duncan, 62 S.W.3d 333, 334 (Tex.App.- Houston [1 st Dist.] 2001, orig. proceeding).
