OPINION ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
Relator Billy James Cheeks has filed a petition for writ of mandamus, complaining that the trial court has failed to rule on certain motions filed by him. Relator has not provided this court with certified or sworn copies of the motions. See Tex.R.App.P. 52.3(j)(1)(A). Moreover, Relator s petition indicates that his motions relate to a felony post-conviction writ of habeas corpus. This court does not have jurisdiction over matters related to felony 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 denied.
