PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED AS MOOT

           On October 23, 2008, relator Dempsey L. Sutton filed a petition for writ of mandamus,

seeking to compel the trial court to rule relator’s second motion for post-conviction DNA testing.

On October 30, 2008, the trial court signed an order denying relator’s second motion for post-

conviction DNA testing. In light of the trial court’s action, the complaint presented in relator’s

petition is now moot. Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is denied as moot.

                                                            PER CURIAM
