Relator seeks a writ of mandamus to compel the Jefferson County District Attorney to dismiss an indictment. The District Attorney is not a person against whom we may issue a writ of mandamus other than to protect our jurisdiction, and Relator has not shown that the writ is necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221 (Vernon Supp. 2003).

The petition for writ of mandamus, filed April 2, 2003, is DENIED.

PER CURIAM

Opinion Delivered April 10, 2003

Before McKeithen, C.J., Burgess and Gaultney, JJ.
