In Re: Edward Dean Goodman--Appeal from of County
Annotate this CaseCOURT OF APPEALS
EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
EL PASO, TEXAS
IN RE: EDWARD DEAN GOODMAN,
Relator.
No. 08-03-00272-CR
AN ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
IN MANDAMUS
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Edward Dean Goodman filed a post-conviction petition for writ of habeas corpus in the trial court. The trial court issued an order stating that the petition was without merit and should be denied. The Court of Criminal Appeals subsequently denied the petition based on the trial court's order. Goodman has now filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this Court, seeking an order compelling the trial court to set aside its order and to recommend to the Court of Criminal Appeals that he be granted habeas relief.
This Court does not have jurisdiction over matters related to post-conviction writs of habeas corpus. See Ater v. Eighth Court of Appeals, 802 S.W.2d 241, 243 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991); In re McAfee, 53 S.W.3d 715, 718 (Tex. App.--Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, orig. proceeding). Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
