JAMES M. PORTER, A.J.
     Jose Sanchez, relator,  commenced this procedendo action  to
compel respondent, Judge Brian Corrigan, to proceed to judgment on
relator's petition for postconviction relief filed in C.P. Case No.
CR-264251. Respondent filed a motion to dismiss/motion for summary
judgment and attached a certified copy of the file-stamped opinion
of respondent delineating findings of fact and conclusions of law
for the denial of relator's postconviction petition.  Accordingly,
respondent's motion to dismiss is granted based upon respondent's
demonstration that this action is now moot.
     Case dismissed.  Costs to respondent.
