S In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-13-00435-CV
IN RE PERRY PATTERSON, Relator
Original Proceeding from the 203rd Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F08-11133-P
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices FitzGerald, Lang, and Myers
Opinion by Justice FitzGerald
Before the Court is relator=s petition for writ of mandamus complaining that neither the
Court of Criminal Appeals nor this Court has sent him a copy of a petition for discretionary
review filed by relator’s attorney. The facts and issues are well known to the parties, so we need
not recount them herein. This Court does not have mandamus jurisdiction over the Court of
Criminal Appeals. See TEX. GOV=T CODE ANN. ' 22.221 (West 2004). Accordingly, we
DISMISS relator=s petition for a writ of mandamus for want of jurisdiction to the extent it seeks
relief regarding the Court of Criminal Appeals. To the extent the petition requests a copy of the
petition for discretionary review from this Court, relator has not shown he is entitled to that
relief, and we DENY that portion of the petition. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a); Simon v. Levario,
306 S.W.3d 318, 320-21 (Tex. Crim. App. 2009) (orig. proceeding).
