IN RE CHRISTOPHER WASHINGTON, 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 28, 2008, relator, Christopher Washington, filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court.  See Tex. Gov=t Code Ann. ' 22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.  In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Jim Wallace, presiding judge of the 263rd District Court of Harris County, to grant relator a probable cause hearing, and grant his motion to dismiss his indictments for burglary of a habitation and aggravated robbery because he was not taken before a magistrate after he was arrested.


Relator has not established his entitlement to the extraordinary relief of a writ of mandamus.  Accordingly, we deny relator=s petition for writ of mandamus. 

 

PER CURIAM

 

Petition Denied and Memorandum Opinion filed August 7, 2008.

Panel consists of Chief Justice Hedges and Justices Fowler and Boyce.
