IN RE THOMAS P. HAYES, IV, 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 3, 2007, relator Thomas P. Hayes, IV filed a petition for writ of mandamus.  See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. ' 22.221.  Relator asks this Court to compel The Honorable Laurine Blake, Presiding Judge of the case styled Commission for Lawyer Discipline v. Thomas Hayes, IV, Cause 2006-15324 pending in the 281st District Court, Harris County, Texas, to consider and rule on his Plea to the Jurisdiction.  In such Plea, relator contends that the trial court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over certain discrete claims, added to the pending case, that had not first passed through required preliminary administrative procedures.

We find that relator is not entitled to mandamus relief.  Accordingly, we deny relator=s petition for writ of mandamus .
