IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

No. 10-12-00096-CV IN RE SHANNON LEE SIMON

Original Proceeding

MEMORANDUM OPINION

In this original proceeding Relator Shannon Lee Simon seeks mandamus relief against the Respondent Warden Herman Weston, Jr. Simon states that the warden abused his position and promoted abuse of officers’ positions by failing to comply with TDCJ rules, statutory law, and Constitutional provisions. A court of appeals has no jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against a warden except to protect or enforce its jurisdiction. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221 (Vernon 2004). We dismiss Simon’s writ of mandamus for want of jurisdiction.
