Opinion Delivered
EMMETT MICHAEL BRIM
Petitioner
October 22, 2009
PRO SE PETITION FOR WRIT OF
MANDAMUS [CIRCUIT COURT OF

v.
PETITION MOOT.
ROBERT BYNUM GIBSON, JR.,
CIRCUIT JUDGE
Respondent
PER CURIAM
On August 17, 2009, petitioner Emmett Michael Brim filed in this court a petition for writ of
mandamus, in which he alleged that the Honorable Robert Bynum Gibson, Jr., Circuit Judge, had failed
to act upon a petition for writ of habeas corpus filed on May 12, 2008, in Chicot County Circuit Court
in a timely manner. Judge Gibson has since filed a response to the petition in this court in which he
notes that a response was filed to the habeas petition in December of 2008, and that a ruling has now
been provided.
The circuit court has entered an order that disposed of the habeas petition.1 As the court has
acted on that petition, the petition for writ of mandamus is moot.
Petition moot.

The response failed to include a file-marked copy of the order. We take judicial notice, however,
that the public records of the court’s clerk indicate the order was entered on August 24, 2009.
