Deny and Opinion Filed May 4, 2016 S In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-16-00502-CV No. 05-16-00503-CV IN RE SENRICK WILKERSON, Relator Original Proceeding from the Criminal District Court No. 3 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F-1001183, F-1001184 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Chief Justice Wright, Justice Lang, and Justice Brown Opinion by Chief Justice Wright In this petition for writ of mandamus, relator requests that we order the trial court to rule on his motion for judgment nunc pro tunc filed in the trial court on April 26, 2016. He argues he is entitled to immediate relief because the trial court “will ignore the attached Motion for Nunc Pro Tunc, and will NEVER rule on it.” Trial courts are entitled to a reasonable time in which to rule on motions. In re Blakeney, 254 S.W.3d 659, 661 (Tex. App.—Texarkana 2008, orig. proceeding). Relator’s motion had been pending three days when the petition for writ of mandamus was filed. That is not a reasonable period of time. We deny the petition. /Carolyn Wright/ CAROLYN WRIGHT CHIEF JUSTICE 160502F.P05 –2–
