No. 08-04-00015-CR

AN ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

IN MANDAMUS

MEMORANDUM OPINION

John A. Arnold has filed a petition for writ of mandamus, complaining of the trial court=s handling of his petition for writ of habeas corpus. This Court does not have jurisdiction over matters related to post-conviction writs of habeas corpus. See Ater v. Eighth Court of Appeals, 802 S.W.2d 241, 243 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991); In re McAfee, 53 S.W.3d 715, 718 (Tex. App.--Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, orig. proceeding). Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
