                                                     MEMORANDUM 
OPINION
 
            Bobby Yates filed a petition for
writ of mandamus in which he asked this Court to order the 6th Judicial District
Court of Lamar County to withdraw a gag order entered in connection with an
underlying sexual assault case, and also to direct that court to withdraw its
denial of his motion for continuance.  We
have received a response from the trial judge, with copies of orders attached
which rescind the gag order in its entirety and grant a continuance so that a
newly retained attorney can represent Yates at trial.  The issues raised by the mandamus are
therefore moot.
            We deny the petition for writ of mandamus.
