IN RE: FRANKIE BARTOLO MERCADO (2017)

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relator, Frankie Bartolo Mercado, proceeding pro se and incarcerated, has filed a combined original application for writ of mandamus seeking to compel the respondent trial judge to rule on his pending pro se “Motion for Court Order for Disclosure of Information of Grand Jury” in his two underlying habeas corpus proceedings.¹

We construe the application as petitions for writs of mandamus, but deny the petitions. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a), (d).
