IN RE PAUL ANTHONY COUZAN, Relator

 

 

 

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

 

 

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

On May 19, 2003, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this Court.  See Tex. Gov=t. Code Ann. ' 22.221; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.  In his petition, relator requests that we direct the judge of the 177th District Court of Harris County to dismiss his appointed counsel and appoint new counsel.  Relator cites no authority showing that mandamus relief is available for this purpose.

We deny relator=s petition for writ of mandamus.

 

PER CURIAM

 

Petition Denied and Memorandum Opinion filed May 22, 2003.

Panel consists of Chief Justice Brister and Justices Fowler and Edelman.
