The facts and issues are well known to the parties, so we need not recount them herein. This Court does not have mandamus jurisdiction over the Court of Criminal Appeals. See TEX. GOV=T CODE ANN. ' 22.221 (West 2004). Accordingly, we DISMISS relator=s petition for a writ of mandamus for want of jurisdiction to the extent it seeks relief regarding the Court of Criminal Appeals. To the extent the petition requests a copy of the petition for discretionary review from this Court, relator has not shown he is entitled to that relief, and we DENY that portion of the petition. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a); Simon v. Levario, 306 S.W.3d 318, 320-21 (Tex. Crim. App. 2009) (orig. proceeding). /Kerry P. FitzGerald/ KERRY P. FITZGERALD JUSTICE 130435F.P05
