In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont ____________________ NO. 09-18-00235-CR ____________________ IN RE JAMES LEE WILLIAMS ________________________________________________________________________ Original Proceeding Criminal District Court of Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. 11-13092 ________________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION Relator James Lee Williams filed a petition for a writ of mandamus, in which he asks this Court to compel the district clerk to forward him a copy of the record that was prepared for an appeal that has been finally decided. See Williams v. State, No. 09-13-00489-CR, 2014 WL 5409049, at *1 (Tex. App.—Beaumont Oct. 22, 2014, no pet.) (mem. op., not designated for publication). Except in a case in which we are enforcing our jurisdiction, the district clerk is not a person against whom we may issue a writ of mandamus. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221(a), (b) (West Supp. 2017); In re Pennington, No. 09-08-370 1 CV, 2008 WL 4425521, at *1 (Tex. App.—Beaumont Oct. 2, 2008, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.). Based on the facts alleged in the mandamus petition, Williams has not shown that issuing a writ against the district clerk is necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. Accordingly, Williams is not entitled to the relief sought. We deny the petition for a writ of mandamus. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a). PETITION DENIED. PER CURIAM Submitted on July 10, 2018 Opinion Delivered July 11, 2018 Do Not Publish Before Kreger, Horton, and Johnson, JJ. 2
