In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont _________________ NO. 09-16-00344-CR _________________ IN RE RAYMOND YOUNG ________________________________________________________________________ Original Proceeding 252nd District Court of Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. 92153 ________________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION Relator Raymond Young filed a petition for writ of mandamus, in which he asked this Court to compel the trial judge to rule upon his post-conviction motion for forensic DNA testing. We requested a response from the State, and the State filed an appendix containing the trial court’s appealable order, dated October 31, 2016, denying Young’s motion. On November 9, 2016, Young filed a notice of appeal, which stated that he was appealing the trial court’s order denying his motion, and we docketed that proceeding as No. 09-16-00432-CR, Raymond Young v. The State of Texas. 1 We conclude that because the trial court has now ruled upon Young’s postconviction motion for DNA testing, this original proceeding is moot. Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus as moot. PETITION DISMISSED. PER CURIAM Submitted on October 14, 2016 Opinion Delivered December 7, 2016 Do Not Publish Before McKeithen, C.J., Kreger and Johnson, JJ. 2
