IN RE JAMES BAXTER, D.C., Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

            On May 3, 2010, relator, James Baxter, D.C., pro se, 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.[1]  In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the Honorable Alexandra Smoots-Hogan, presiding judge of the 164th District Court of Harris County, to set aside her order denying his request for a jury trial.

            Relator has not established his entitlement to the extraordinary relief of a writ of mandamus.  Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus and request for emergency relief.

                                                                        PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Hedges and Justices Anderson and Boyce.
