IN RE CUONG VAN NGUYEN _______________________________________________________ ______________ Original Proceeding ________________________________________________________ _____________ MEMORANDUM OPINION Cuong Van Nguyen filed a petition for writ of mandamus to compel the trial court to issue a judgment nunc pro tunc crediting his sentence with time from the date of indictment to the date of sentencing.

Mandamus relief is not available to challenge an appealable order. See Alvarez v. Eighth Court of Appeals of Tex., 977 S.W.2d 590, 592 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998). The petition for writ of mandamus is denied.
