ORIGINAL PROCEEDING DISMISSED

           On April 10, 2019, the trial court granted relator’s “Motion to Terminate State Counsel for

Offenders and Invoke the Faretta Right to Self-Representation.” Accordingly, on April 23, 2019,

we ordered relator to file either a petition for writ of mandamus that fully complies with Texas

Rule of Appellate Procedure 52.3 if he desired to pursue his request for mandamus relief or a

motion to dismiss this original proceeding.

           On May 3, 2019, relator filed a motion to dismiss stating, “the subject matter of this

mandamus was resolved, wherein Relator now represents himself pro se in his court of

commitment.” We grant the motion and dismiss this original proceeding.

                                                        PER CURIAM
