IN RE ANANIAS DIXON, Relator

 

 

 

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

 

 

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

On March 22, 2004, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this Court.  See Tex. Gov=t. Code Ann. ' 22.221 (Vernon Supp. 2003); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.  Relator essentially seeks rehearing of the dismissal of her appeal in April 2003.  Mandamus is not the proper remedy for challenging the dismissal of an appeal.  Mandamus relief is available only to correct a clear abuse of discretion or the violation of a duty imposed by law when there is no other adequate remedy by law.  Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839 (Tex. 1992).

Accordingly, we deny relator=s petition for writ of mandamus.

 

PER CURIAM

 

Petition Denied and Memorandum Opinion filed April 1, 2004.
