COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

IN RE: ERIC CORTINAS

 

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus

 
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Rodriguez, Castillo, and Garza
Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

Relator, Eric Cortinas, filed a petition for writ of mandamus in the above cause on August 28, 2006, in which he alleges that respondent, Doug Dretke, Director of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice - Institutional Division, abused his discretion by failing to perform his ministerial duty by timely transferring relator to the TDCJ-Institutional Division.

The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file and petition for writ of mandamus, is of the opinion that relator has not shown himself entitled to the relief sought and the petition for writ of mandamus should be denied. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8. Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is DENIED.

PER CURIAM
