In 2004, we affirmed appellant’s murder conviction. See Mendoza, Jr. v. The State of Texas, No. 01-03-00783-CR, to issue a writ of mandamus directed at the district attorney because the requested writ neither is against a judge nor is necessary to enforce our appellate jurisdiction. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. §§ 22.221(a), (b) (West 2004). Accordingly, relator’s petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Keyes, Higley, and Brown. Do not publish. TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b). 2004 WL 2538280, at *6 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] Nov. 10, 2004, no pet.)
