NO. 07-11-0126-CV IN THE COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT AMARILLO PANEL A MAY 16, 2011 ______________________________ IN RE RICHARD DEWAYNE SNELSON, RELATOR _________________________________ ORIGINAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF PROCEEDINGS BEFORE THE 181ST DISTRICT COURT OF RANDALL COUNTY; NO. 16,447-B; HONORABLE JOHN B. BOARD, JUDGE PRESIDING _______________________________ Before CAMPBELL and HANCOCK and PIRTLE, JJ. MEMORANDUM OPINION Relator, Richard Dewayne Snelson, proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis files this original proceeding seeking to compel the Honorable John B. Board to enter a ruling on motions filed challenging an Order to Withdraw Inmate Funds signed on February 25, 2010, authorizing funds to be withdrawn from Relator's inmate account to satisfy $2,228.50 for court cost, fines and fees.1 On March 21, 2011, the trial court entered a ruling on Relator's challenges and signed an Amended Order to Withdraw Funds. Judge Board has performed his ministerial duty to rule on the pending motion. 1 Snelson filed a motion to rescind the order of February 25, 2010, and then appealed the partial denial of that motion. By an opinion issued today, this Court disposed of that appeal. See Snelson v. State, No. 07-10-0259-CV, 2011 Tex. App. LEXIS __ (Tex.App.--Amarillo 2010, no pet. h.). See Safety-Kleen Corp. v. Garcia, 945 S.W.2d 268, 269 (Tex.App.--San Antonio 1997, orig. proceeding). A particular ruling, however, is generally discretionary. In re Washington, No. 09-07-0246-CV, 2007 Tex. App. LEXIS 6449, at *2 (Tex.App.-Beaumont Aug. 16, 2007, orig. proceeding). Consequently, Relator's request for mandamus relief is rendered moot. Patrick A. Pirtle Justice 2
