DISMISS; and Opinion Filed March 28, 2018. In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-18-00318-CV IN RE NICHOLAS JOHN MATEIK, Relator Original Proceeding from the 265th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. W15-44643-R(A) MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Lang-Miers, Fillmore, and Stoddart Opinion by Justice Lang-Miers This Court affirmed relator Nicholas John Mateik’s felony stalking conviction on April 24, 2017. Mateik v. State, No. 05–16–00434–CR, 2017 WL 1483395 (Tex. App.–Dallas Apr. 24, 2017, no pet.) (mem. op.). In this original proceeding, relator seeks a writ directing the trial court to grant his petition for writ of habeas corpus and vacate the underlying judgment and conviction. This proceeding is a collateral attack on a final conviction and, therefore, falls within the scope of a post-conviction writ of habeas corpus under article 11.07 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.07 (West 2015). Only the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has jurisdiction in final, post-conviction felony proceedings. Id; Ater v. Eighth Court of Appeals, 802 S.W.2d 241, 243 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991) (orig. proceeding); In re McAfee, 53 S.W.3d 715, 717 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, orig. proceeding). Accordingly, we dismiss this proceeding for want of jurisdiction. /Elizabeth Lang-Miers/ ELIZABETH LANG-MIERS JUSTICE 180318F.P05 –2–
