IN RE CLIFFORD A. SMITH, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

On April 3, 2006, 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.  In the petition, relator asked this court to compel the Honorable John Ellisor, presiding judge of the 122nd Judicial District Court of Galveston County, and the Parole Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice to withdraw a warrant issued for his arrest pursuant to  alleged parole violations.

With respect to the Parole Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, we lack jurisdiction to address relator=s complaint.  See Tex. Gov=t Code Ann. ' 22.221 (a), (b) (Vernon 2004).  As for the remaining portion of relator=s claim, he has not established that he is entitled to mandamus relief.  Accordingly, we deny relator=s petition for writ of mandamus.

PER CURIAM

Petition Denied and Memorandum Opinion filed April 27, 2006.

Panel consists of Justices Anderson, Edelman, and Frost.
