MEMORANDUM OPINION
On May 8, 2015, relator Gerald Jerod Durden filed a petition for writ of
mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (West 2004); see also
Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable

rule on his motion for DNA testing and appointment of counsel.
On May 21, 2015, relator filed a motion to withdraw his petition for writ of
mandamus. The motion is granted.
Accordingly, we dismiss relator’s petition for a writ of mandamus without
addressing the merits of the petition.
