MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator, Reginald A. Noble, a Texas prison inmate, has filed a petition for writ of
mandamus against Bradley K. Lollar, the Dallas County Public Defender. A court of appeals has
jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against certain judges within our geographic district.
TEX.GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221(b)(West 2004). It also has authority to issue a writ of
mandamus if it is necessary to enforce the court of appeals’ jurisdiction. Id. § 22.221(a). Relator
does not have any appeals pending before this Court. We do not have jurisdiction to grant
mandamus relief against the Dallas County Public Defender. Accordingly, we deny the petition
for writ of mandamus.
