OF TEXAS

JORGE LUIS RODRIGUEZ, Relator

v.

JUDGE, 208^TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, Respondent

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS

CAUSE NO. 9417160-A IN THE 208^TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT

FROM HARRIS 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 he filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus in the 208^th Judicial District Court of Harris County, that more than 35 days have elapsed, and that the application has not yet been forwarded to this Court. Relator specifically contends that, after holding a live evidentiary hearing in March 2004, the trial court recommended granting relief.

In these circumstances, additional facts are needed. The respondent, Judge of the 208^th District Court of Harris County, is ordered to file a response with this Court by having the District Clerk submit the record on such habeas corpus application or by setting out the reasons that no findings have been made since the hearing in March 2004. This application for leave to file a writ of mandamus will 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.
