IN RE MARK ANTHONY PEREZ, Relator

 

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

 

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relator, Mark Anthony Perez, filed in this Court a petition for writ of mandamus, complaining that respondent // has failed to require Jones W. Roach to file an affidavit that relator needs for an article 11.07 writ of habeas corpus. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07 (Vernon Supp. 2005). We deny the petition. This Court has no authority to issue writs of mandamus in criminal law matters pertaining to habeas corpus proceedings seeking relief from final felony judgments. That jurisdiction lies exclusively with the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. See Board of Pardons & Paroles ex rel. Keene v. Court of Appeals for the Eighth District, 910 S.W.2d 481, 483 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995); In re McAfee, 53 S.W.3d 715, 717-18 (Tex. App. Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, orig. proceeding); Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07, 3 (Vernon Supp. 2005).

The petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
