IN RE BARNABAS MADU, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

WRIT OF INJUNCTION

WRIT OF PROHIBITION

M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N

On February 22, 2005, relator, Barnabas Madu, filed a petition for writ of mandamus, writ of injunction, and writ of prohibition in this court. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. ' 22.221 (Vernon Supp. 2004). Relator asks this court to order the Honorable James York, Judge of the 246th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas, to set aside his order signed December 29, 2004, entered in trial court cause number 2004-64720, styled In the Matter of the Marriage of Clara Osuji Madu and Barnabas Madu. Relator claims that the order is void because the trial court improperly exercised jurisdiction over a suit affecting the parent-child relationship. Relator also filed a motion for an emergency stay and immediate temporary relief. See Tex. R. App. p. 52.8(b), 52.10.

Relator has not established that he is entitled to extraordinary relief. Accordingly, we deny relator=s petition for writ of mandamus, writ of injunction, and writ of prohibition. We also deny relator=s motion for emergency stay and temporary relief.

PER CURIAM

Petition Denied and Memorandum Opinion filed March 1, 2005.

Panel consists of Justices Edelman, Seymore and Guzman.
