NO. 12-14-00252-CR

IN THE COURT OF APPEALS

TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT

TYLER, TEXAS

IN RE: §

PERCY FROMAN, § ORIGINAL PROCEEDING RELATOR §

MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM

Relator, Percy Froman, requests a writ of mandamus directing the trial court to forward his postconviction application for writ of habeas corpus to the court of criminal appeals. The court of criminal appeals has recently reiterated that because it has exclusive Article 11.07 jurisdiction, an intermediate appellate court has no jurisdiction to rule on matters pertaining to a pending Article 11.07 application. See Padieu v. Court of Appeals of Tex., Fifth Dist., 392 S.W.3d 115, 117-18 (Tex. Crim. App. 2013); see also TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.07 (West Supp. 2014). Relator asserts that the trial court received his habeas application on October 29, 2013. Therefore, his complaint relates to a pending Article 11.07 application. Consequently, we have no jurisdiction to address the merits of his complaint. See Padieu, 392 S.W.3d at 117-18. Accordingly, we dismiss Relator’s petition for writ of mandamus. Opinion delivered October 8, 2014.

Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Griffith, J., and Hoyle, J.
