Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-19-00596-CR IN RE Phillip Anthony ZAGONE Original Mandamus Proceeding 1 PER CURIAM Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice Irene Rios, Justice Delivered and Filed: September 18, 2019 PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION In his petition for writ of mandamus, relator asks this court to direct the Board of Pardons and Paroles (the “Board”) to determine relator is entitled to relief, reverse the Board’s decision in part, and render the decision the Board should have reached following the Board’s panel decision to not grant relator parole. This court’s mandamus jurisdiction does not extend to the Board of Pardons and Paroles. See TEX. GOV’T CODE § 22.221(a), (b). Therefore, we dismiss relator’s petition for want of jurisdiction. PER CURIAM Do not publish 1 This proceeding arises from a parole panel decision by the State of Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles.
