Opinion

IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. WR-64,504-01 FREDRICK LEON RANSON, Relator

v.

JUDGE, 185^TH DISTRICT COURT, Respondent

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS

CAUSE NUMBERS 671477-A, 671478-A, AND 671479-A

IN THE 185^TH DISTRICT COURT OF HARRIS COUNTY

The order was delivered per curiam.

O R D E R

This is an original application for a writ of mandamus. Relator contends he filed applications for writs of habeas corpus in the 185^th District Court in cause numbers 671477-A, 671478-A, and 671479-A 0877913-D, but more than thirty-five days have elapsed and the application has not been forwarded to the Court of Criminal Appeals. Relator also contends that the trial court entered orders designating issues prior to July 21, 2005, and so more than one hundred eighty (180) days have elapsed since the orders were entered.

It is the Court's opinion that additional information is required before a decision can be reached on the motion for leave to file the instant action. The Respondent, Judge of the 185^th District Court of Harris County, is ordered to file with this Court within thirty (30) days a response by having the district clerk submit the records on such habeas corpus applications or by setting out the reasons that findings have not been made in the period since the orders designating issues were entered. This application for writ of mandamus is held in abeyance pending compliance with this order.

IT IS SO ORDERED this the 10^TH day of May, 2006.
