<BR WP="BR1"><BR WP="BR2">
<P>	Relator Joseph Rome has filed a petition for writ of mandamus.  We deny the petition. 
We note that Rome has an appeal before this Court, docketed as cause number 03-01-00160.  By
letter of June 4, 2001, this Court questioned whether an appealable order existed in that cause and
set a deadline of June 14, 2001 for Rome to respond.  Rome still has until June 14, 2001 to respond
to the question raised in cause 03-01-00160-CV.</P>
