in Re Jesse Ely Pena, Relator

MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-12-000206-CR IN RE Jesse Ely PENA

Original Mandamus Proceeding 1

PER CURIAM Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice

Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice

Delivered and Filed: April 18, 2012 PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION

On April 4, 2012, Relator Jesse Ely Pena filed a petition for writ of mandamus complaining the Bexar County District Clerk has failed to provide him with copies of requested records. We conclude this court does not have jurisdiction to grant the requested relief.

By statute, this court has the authority to issue a writ of mandamus against “a judge of a district or county court in the court of appeals district” and other writs as necessary to enforce our appellate jurisdiction. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221(a)-(b) (West 2004). We conclude the writ against the Bexar County District Clerk is not necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. See In re Coronado, 980 S.W.2d 691, 692 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1998, orig. proceeding).

Accordingly, Relator’s petition for writ of mandamus is DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION.
