IN RE RICHARD BAGGETT,

 Relator

 

 

 

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

 

 

M E M O R A N D U M  O P I N I O N

On July 23, 2007, relator Richard Baggett, an inmate, filed a mandamus petition in this court seeking a writ ordering Charles Bacarisse, the Harris County District Clerk, to provide relator with a copy of a motion for DNA testing filed in the 179th District Court, Harris County, Texas, in 2001. 

This court is empowered to issue writs of mandamus to enforce its jurisdiction, or against judges of district or county courts within our appellate district.  See Tex. Gov=t Code Ann. ' 22.221 (Vernon 2004).  Because the requested mandamus relief is not within our jurisdiction, we dismiss relator=s petition for lack of jurisdiction. 


PER CURIAM

 

Petition Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed August 21, 2007.

Panel consists of Chief Justice Hedges, Justices Yates and Seymore.
