Opinion issued July 10, 2014 In The Court of Appeals For The First District of Texas NO. 01-14-00310-CR IN RE JAIME LUEVANO, Relator Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus MEMORANDUM OPINION Pro se relator Jaime Luevano filed a petition for writ of mandamus compelling resentencing and appointing counsel. Although relator fails to identify a respondent, the petition indicates that it arises from a case outside of this court of appeals district. We do not have mandamus jurisdiction against a judge outside of our district unless necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. See TEX. GOV T CODE ANN. ยงยง 22.221(a) (West 2004) (court of appeals may issue a writ of mandamus and all other writs necessary to enforce the jurisdiction of the court ); 22.221(b)(1) (court of appeals may issue a writ of mandamus against a judge of a district or county court in the court of appeals district ); see also In re Seay, No. 01-1300854-CR, 2014 WL 866143, at *1 (Tex. App. Houston [1st Dist.] March 4, 2014, no pet.) ( By statute, we have the authority only to issue a writ of mandamus against a district court judge or county court judge in this Court's district, and we may issue all writs as necessary to enforce this Court's appellate jurisdiction. ). Relator has not demonstrated, and we do not conclude, that the requested relief is necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. Therefore, relator s request does not fall within our mandamus jurisdiction. Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus for lack of jurisdiction. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Jennings, Bland, and Massengale. Do not publish. TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b). 2
