IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. WR-70,525-02

NEWMAN ELMO JONES III, Relator

v.

EASTLAND COUNTY DISTRICT CLERK, Respondent

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS

CAUSE NO. CR-01-19324 IN THE 91ST JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT

FROM EASTLAND COUNTY

Per curiam.

O R D E R

Relator has filed a motion for leave to file a writ of mandamus pursuant to the original jurisdiction of this Court. In it, he contends that after he filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus in the 91^st Judicial District Court of Eastland County and the trial court made findings of fact and conclusions of law, he filed objections to the trial court's findings and conclusions. But these objections, he contends, have not been forwarded to this Court.

In these circumstances, additional facts are needed. The respondent, the District Clerk of Eastland County, is ordered to file a response and state whether Relator filed objections; if so, whether these objections were forwarded to this Court before March 18, 2009; and if not, why they were not forwarded to this Court before this date. This application for leave to file a writ of mandamus shall be held in abeyance until the respondent has submitted the appropriate response. Such response shall be submitted within 30 days of the date of this order.
