In re Carlos Lopez Guzman, Relator
AN ORIGINAL PROCEEDING IN MANDAMUS
M E MO RA N D UM O PI NI O N
Relator, Carlos Lopez Guzman, has filed a petition for writ of mandamus, requesting that
we direct the trial court to (1) disqualify the prosecutor in Guzmanβs criminal case and (2) appoint
another attorney to continue the prosecution. Guzman has also filed an emergency motion
requesting that we stay all proceedings in the trial court.
After consideration, the Court has determined that Guzman has not established that he is
entitled to the relief sought. We deny the petition. We dismiss any pending motions as moot.
