In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont __________________ NO. 09-25-00027-CR __________________

IN RE RAYMOND REGINALD PEOPLES __________________________________________________________________ Original Proceeding Criminal District Court of Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. DCR23-0727 __________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION In a petition for a writ of mandamus, Raymond Reginald Peoples complains that the trial court has repeatedly refused to issue a writ of habeas corpus and failed to order the trial court clerk to issue subpoenas for a hearing on Peoples’ pre-trial application for a writ of habeas corpus.

In a criminal case, to establish a right to mandamus relief a relator must show that no adequate remedy at law exists to redress the alleged harm and that he is seeking to compel a ministerial act, one that does not involve a discretionary or judicial decision. See In re State ex rel. Young v. Sixth Jud. Dist. Ct. of Appeals at

Texarkana, 236 S.W.3d 207, 210 (Tex. Crim. App. 2007) (orig. proceeding). The relator must show that he has a clear right to the relief sought under unequivocal, well-settled and clearly controlling principles. Id. We have reviewed the mandamus petition and appendix. We conclude that Peoples has failed to establish that he has a clear right to the relief he seeks. See id. Accordingly, we deny the petition for a writ of mandamus. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a).

PETITION DENIED.
