In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont ____________________ NO. 09-11-00579-CR ____________________ IN RE WILLIAM E. DURHAM _______________________________________________________________ Original Proceeding _________________________________________________________________ ______ ____ MEMORANDUM OPINION Relator William E. Durham filed a petition for writ of mandamus, in which he apparently seeks an order compelling the trial court to grant him a new trial in his underlying criminal case. Durham s appeal is currently pending before this Court in Cause No. 09-11-00475-CR. We may grant mandamus relief only if the relator demonstrates that the act sought to be compelled is purely ministerial, and that the relator has no other adequate legal remedy. See State ex rel. Hill v. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Dist., 34 S.W.3d 924, 927 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001). The petition for writ of mandamus is denied. 1 PETITION DENIED. PER CURIAM Opinion Delivered November 9, 2011 Do Not Publish Before Gaultney, Kreger, and Horton, JJ. 2
