IN RE ADRIAN WHEATFALL, Relator
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator Adrian Wheatfall has filed a pro se petition writ of mandamus. In his petition, relator complains that the 180th District Court has not acted on his request for post-conviction DNA testing of evidence and that the court has not appointed counsel to assist him in presenting his motion.
We deny the petition for writ of mandamus. There are three prerequisites for the issuance of a writ of mandamus by an appellate court, namely: (1) the lower court must have a legal duty to perform a nondiscretionary act; (2) the relator must make a demand for performance; and (3) the subject court must refuse that request. Barnes v. State, 832 S.W.2d 424, 426 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1992, orig. proceeding). Relator has not provided us with a record that shows that he made any request of respondent to perform a nondiscretionary act that respondent refused.
The petition for writ of mandamus is therefore denied.
It is so ORDERED.
PER CURIAM
