IN RE LEROY EUGENE JOHNSON,

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

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

On August 14, 2007, relator Leroy Eugene Johnson, an inmate in the Texas Department of Corrections, Institutional Division, filed a mandamus petition in this court seeking a writ ordering respondent, the Honorable Charles Hearn, presiding judge of the 339th District Court, Harris County, to rule on a motion for DNA testing and for appointment of counsel.[1]

Relator has failed to establish that he is entitled to the mandamus relief requested. Accordingly, we deny relator=s petition for writ of mandamus.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Hedges, Justices Anderson and Seymore.
