IN RE RODERICK DICKERSON, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

On March 18, 2005, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court.  See Tex. Gov=t. Code Ann. ' 22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.  He sought a copy of the record in his criminal appeal, in which his appointed counsel has filed a frivolous appeal brief under the guidelines of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967)..

Because an order has issued in relator=s criminal appeal directing the district clerk to provide relator a copy of the record, the relief requested in this mandamus is moot.  Accordingly, we deny relator=s petition for writ of mandamus.

PER CURIAM

Petition Denied and Memorandum Opinion filed April 22, 2005.

Panel consists of Justices Edelman, Seymore, and Guzman.
