JEFFREY LYNN WESTPHAL, Relator

v.

283^rd JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, Respondent

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS

CAUSE NO. F02-55335-T

FROM DALLAS COUNTY

Per curiam.

O R D E R

Relator has filed a motion for leave to file an application for 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 283^rd Judicial District Court of Dallas County, that more than 35 days have elapsed, and that the application has not yet been forwarded to this Court. This Court's records indicate that the district court entered an order designating issues on July 21, 2011.

Respondent, the Judge of the 283^rd Court of Dallas County, shall file a response with this Court by having the District Clerk submit the record on such habeas corpus application. In the alternative, the trial court may resolve the issues set out in its order and then have the District Clerk submit the record on such application. In either case, the trial court's response shall be submitted within 30 days of the date of this order. This application for leave to file a writ of mandamus will be held in abeyance until Respondent has submitted its response.
