JOSEPH JOHN JACKSON,
Petitioner-Appellant,
versus
COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS,
Respondent-Appellee.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. A-00-CV-538-JN
--------------------
April 10, 2001
Before JOLLY, HIGGINBOTHAM, and JONES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Joseph John Jackson, pro se Texas prisoner # 569276, appeals
the district court’s dismissal of his petition for writ of
mandamus, by which Jackson sought an order directing the Texas
Court of Criminal Appeals to enforce its own order granting Jackson
credit for time served. The district court’s determination that it
had no authority to issue a writ of mandamus was correct. See Moye
v. Clerk, DeKalb County Superior Court, 474 F.2d 1275, 1276 (5th
Cir. 1973). Jackson’s appeal presents no issue of arguable merit
and is, therefore, dismissed as frivolous. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
DISMISSED AS FRIVOLOUS.
