IN RE JOSEPH DINGLER, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

On December 7, 2004, relator 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.  Relator seeks mandamus relief against the Walker County District Clerk and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division. 

When a relator seeks a writ of mandamus against a party other than a judge, we may grant such relief only when “necessary to enforce our jurisdiction.”  Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221(a) (Vernon 2004).  The relief sought by relator is not necessary to enforce our jurisdiction.   Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus.

PER CURIAM

Petition Denied and Memorandum Opinion filed December 21, 2004.

Panel consists of Justices Anderson, Hudson, and Frost.
