IN RE:

HARLAND VETTER

Original Mandamus Proceeding

Before Morriss, C.J., Ross and Carter, JJ.

Memorandum Opinion by Justice Ross

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Harland Vetter has filed a petition for writ of mandamus in which he asks us to order the court reporter of the 1st Judicial District Court in Sabine County to immediately prepare and file the record of his trial. This Court has jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against a "judge of a district or county court in the court of appeals district; . . . ." Tex. Gov't Code Ann. 22.221(b) (Vernon 2004). We do not have jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against a court reporter in this context. //

The petition is denied.

Donald R. Ross
