EX PARTE MARCUS DUFFY-THOMPSON

On Appeal from the 228th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause Nos. 1174254 & 1174255

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

These are appeals from the denial of appellant=s pre-trial applications for writ of habeas corpus seeking bond reduction.  This Court has been advised that appellant has pleaded guilty in each case and has been sentenced to confinement in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for forty years, with the sentences to be served concurrently.  Appellant=s pleas render the issue of pretrial bond moot.  See Ex parte Morgan, 335 S.W.2d 766, 766 (Tex. Crim. App. 1960); Ex parte Bennet, 818 S.W.2d 199, 200 (Tex. App.CHouston [14th Dist.] 1991, no pet.) (stating that Awhere the premise of a habeas corpus application is destroyed by subsequent developments, the legal issues raised thereunder are rendered moot.@). 

Accordingly, we dismiss these appeals as moot. 

PER CURIAM
