IN RE: CLAUDE R. TURNER

Relator Claude R. Turner filed a petition for writ of mandamus requesting that we order the Texas Department of Criminal Justice-Institutional Division and the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles to recalculate his mandatory release date after applying his good-time credits. This court has no mandamus jurisdiction over the Texas Department of Criminal Justice or the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221 (Vernon Supp. 2003). Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed.

JAMES T. WORTHEN
