Opinion issued August 26, 2014 In The Court of Appeals For The First District of Texas NO. 01-14-00669-CR IN RE MIKE JAEMAINE KING, Relator Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus MEMORANDUM OPINION Relator, Mike Jaemaine King, has filed a petition for writ of mandamus seeking to compel his court-appointed appellate counsel to turn over relator s Attorney and Client File and all documents that [were] generated during her representation of relator.1 1 Relator identifies the respondent as Hattie Sewell Shannon, his court-appointed appellate counsel. An attachment to the petition indicates that the underlying case is State of Texas v. Mike Jaemaine King, cause number 717629, in the 339th District Court of Harris County. 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. 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 writ of mandamus against judge of a district or county court in the court of appeals district ). We do not have jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus directed at relator s appointed counsel because the requested writ is neither against a judge nor is it necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. Accordingly, relator s petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Massengale, Brown, and Huddle. Do not publish. TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b). 2
