in Re: Donald Gene Blanton ( 2015 )

Order entered December 14, 2015 In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-15-01481-CV No. 05-15-01482-CV IN RE DONALD GENE BLANTON, Relator Original Proceeding from the 86th Judicial District Court Kaufman County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 23078-86, No. 23592-86 ORDER Before Justices Lang, Fillmore and Brown Based on the Court’s opinion of this date, we DISMISS the petition for writ of mandamus. We DENY as unnecessary relator’s motion for leave to file his application for writ of mandamus. Because a motion for leave is not required by Rule 52 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, we have considered the petition on its merits without first granting leave to file the petition. We ORDER relator to bear the costs of this original proceeding. /s/ DOUGLAS S. LANG JUSTICE
