Olin Ray Nowlin, Texas prisoner # 824386, appeals the district court’s dismissal of his petition for writ of mandamus, in which Nowlin asked the district court to compel the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals to order the state trial court to file his state postconviction application and brief that it had refused to file in June 2012. Nowlin’s assertions that he was not seeking mandamus relief, that the district court should have construed his petition as a 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition, and that the district court should have filed and considered his mandamus petition as part of case number 4:04-CV-949-Y based on newly discovered evidence are frivolous.

The appeal is without arguable merit and is DISMISSED as frivolous. See Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 220 (5th Cir. 1983); 5TH CIR. R. 42.2. Nowlin is WARNED that any future frivolous filings in this court or any court subject to this court’s jurisdiction will subject him to sanctions.
