IN RE: Charles Lee (2010)

M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N

On September 7, 2010, relator Charles Lee, Jr. filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus complaining that the 277th District Court had failed to timely act on his motion for forensic DNA testing.   See Tex.Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 64.01 (West Supp.2010).   The Court asked the State to respond to the petition.

On October 13, the State filed a response stating that the trial court denied Lee's testing motion on October 11, 2010.   A copy of the order is attached to the reply.   Because Lee has received the relief he sought, the petition for writ of mandamus is denied.
