ERIC ORTIZ, Relator

v.

 JUDGE, 171ST JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, Respondent





ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
FROM EL PASO COUNTY



 Per curiam.

O R D E R


	Relator has filed a motion for leave to file a writ of mandamus pursuant to the original
jurisdiction of this Court.  In it, he contends that he filed an application for a writ of habeas corpus
in the 171st Judicial District Court of El Paso County, that more than 35 days have elapsed, and that
the application has not yet been forwarded to this Court. Relator contends that the district court
entered an order designating issues on March 18, 2004.
	 In these circumstances, additional facts are needed.  The respondent, the judge of the 171st
District Court of El Paso County, is ordered to file a response with this Court by having the District
Clerk submit the record on such habeas corpus application or by setting out the reasons that no
findings have been made since the order designating issues was entered.  This application for leave
to file a writ of mandamus will be held in abeyance until the respondent has submitted the
appropriate response.  Such response shall be submitted within 30 days of the date of this order.
