                                      MEMORANDUM OPINION^[1]

                                                       ------------

The court has considered relator=s petition for writ of mandamus and is of the opinion that relief should be denied.  This court does not have jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against either of the respondents except to protect our own jurisdiction.  See Tex. Gov=t Code Ann. ' 22.221(b) (Vernon 2004); In re Dunn, 120 S.W.3d 913, 913 (Tex. App.CTexarkana 2003, orig. proceeding); see also In re Stickhausen, 994 S.W.2d 936, 936 (Tex. App.CHouston [1st Dist.] 1999, orig. proceeding).  This court=s jurisdiction is not at issue in this case.  Accordingly, relator=s petition for writ of mandamus is denied.
