                                      In re Marcus Williams


                      ORIGINAL PROCEEDING FROM TRAVIS COUNTY



                             MEMORANDUM OPINION


               Relator Marcus Williams has petitioned this Court for a writ of mandamus to compel

the 403rd District Court of Travis County to forward to the court of criminal appeals a writ of habeas

corpus that Williams had filed in the district court. We have determined that Williams’s writ was

forwarded to the court of criminal appeals and that the court dismissed the writ on January 16, 2008.1

               The petition for writ of mandamus is denied. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).




                                               _____________________________________________

                                               Bob Pemberton, Justice

Before Chief Justice Law, Justices Pemberton and Waldrop

Filed: May 30, 2008



       1
         The court of criminal appeals’ order stated that the writ was dismissed because a direct
appeal was pending. At the time, our mandate in the underlying proceeding had not yet issued. See
Williams v. State, 240 S.W.3d 293 (Tex. App.—Austin 2007, no pet.).
