In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals ____________ NO. 14-11-00674-CV ____________ IN RE PRINCE KAMAL MALIK MUHAMMAD A/K/A TERRY JEROME BECK, Relator ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS 240th District Court Fort Bend County Trial Court Cause No. 10-DCV-185518 MEMORANDUM OPINION On August 8, 2011, Relator, Prince Kamal Malik Muhammad, an inmate, filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this Court. See Tex. Gov t Code Ann §22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.1. Relator requests we compel three prison employees to return personal property to him. This Court s mandamus jurisdiction is governed by section 22.221 of the Texas Government Code. Section 22.221 expressly limits the mandamus jurisdiction of the courts of appeals to: (1) writs against a district court judge or county court judge in the court of appeals district, and (2) all writs necessary to enforce the court of appeals jurisdiction. Tex. Gov t Code Ann. § 22.221 (Vernon 2004). Because the petition for writ of mandamus is not directed toward a district or county court judge in our district and is not necessary to enforce this court s jurisdiction, we have no jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov t Code Ann. § 22.221(b)(1). Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is ordered dismissed. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Brown, Boyce and McCally. 2
