IN RE GERALD JEROD DURDEN, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS 248th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 905,464

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On May 8, 2015, relator Gerald Jerod Durden filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (West 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Joan Campbell, presiding judge of the 248th District Court of Harris County, to rule on his motion for DNA testing and appointment of counsel.

On May 21, 2015, relator filed a motion to withdraw his petition for writ of mandamus. The motion is granted.

Accordingly, we dismiss relator’s petition for a writ of mandamus without addressing the merits of the petition.
