COURT OF APPEALS EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS EL PASO, TEXAS § § No. 08-09-00302-CR IN RE: JAVIER FLORES, JR., § AN ORIGINAL PROCEEDING Relator. § IN MANDAMUS § § MEMORANDUM OPINION ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS Relator, Javier Flores, Jr., seeks a writ of mandamus to compel the El Paso County Sheriff “to immediate [sic] release the relator for [sic] custody with sufficient authority by the issuance of said mandate.”

This Court does not have the authority to issue a writ of mandamus the Respondent in this case. See TEX .GOV ’T CODE ANN . § 22.221(b)(Vernon 2004). Therefore, mandamus relief is denied. We therefore deny Relator’s request.
