IN RE ANSEL KEYMOND PENNYGRAPH, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
133rd District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2022-21874

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On September 16, 2024, relator Ansel Keymond Pennygraph filed a petition
for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221; see also
Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable
Jaclanel McFarland, presiding judge of the 133rd District Court of Harris County,
to rule on “several timely and properly filed motions.”
On September 18, 2024, the court notified relator by order that his petition
did not comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See Tex. R. App. P.
52.1, 52.3(j), (k)(1)(A), 52.7(a)(1)-(2). Relator was ordered to supplement and/or
amend his petition to address the identified issues on or before October 2, 2024.

On October 1, 2024, relator filed a “Request for an Extension of Time to
Comply with Tex. R. App. Proc. 52 or Voluntary Withdraw [sic] of the Original
Proceeding Without Prejudice to Comply with Tex. R. App. Proc. 52.”

In order to allow relator the necessary time to obtain documents and,
thereafter, file a petition and record compliant with Rule 52 of the Texas Rules of
Appellate Procedure, we grant relator’s voluntary withdrawal of this original
proceeding. Accordingly, we dismiss relator’s petition for writ of mandamus.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Spain, Poissant, and Wilson.
