                    IN RE BRITTANYE MORRIS, Relator


            Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus


                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Relator, the Honorable Brittanye Morris, filed a petition for writ of mandamus

challenging the decision of respondent, the Honorable Michael Patrick Doyle, Chair

of the Harris County Democratic Party, rejecting her application to be placed on the

2024 Democratic party primary ballot for the office of judge of the 333rd Judicial

District Court of Harris County, Texas. Judge Morris’s application was rejected by

Morris following a challenge by real party in interest, Tracy D. Good. Relator

requests that the Court issue a writ of mandamus “requiring Doyle to place Morris’s
name on the [2024] Democratic primary ballot for the office of judge of the 333rd

Judicial District.”

      We deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus. We dismiss any pending

motions as moot.

                                 PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Goodman, Countiss, and Farris.
