COURT OF APPEALS

EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

EL PASO, TEXAS

MEMORANDUM OPINION ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS

            Lakeith Amir-Sharif, pro se, has filed a petition for writ of mandamus requesting this Court direct several employees of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, “to provide [Relator] and each correspondent written notice of their placement on [Relator’s] negative mailing list.”

            This Court does not have authority to issue a writ of mandamus against the Respondants in this case. See Tex.Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221(b)(Vernon 2004). Therefore, the mandamus relief requested is DENIED.
