In The Court of Appeals Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana No. 06-15-00147-CR IN RE: JAMES WAYNE WALSH Original Mandamus Proceeding Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Justice Moseley OPINION James Wayne Walsh has filed a petition for writ of mandamus in which he asks this Court to order his appellate counsel, Jason Duff, to raise a specific argument on appeal. This Court has limited mandamus jurisdiction; we may issue a writ of mandamus only against a “judge of a district or county court in the court of appeals district.” TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221(b) (West 2004). That jurisdiction does not extend to other parties unless such mandamus relief would be necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221(a) (West 2004). Walsh has failed to name a person over whom we have mandamus jurisdiction, and we find no circumstances presented which would make a writ of mandamus issued against his appellate counsel necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221(a), (b). Therefore, we deny Walsh’s petition for writ of mandamus. Bailey C. Moseley Justice Date Submitted: Date Decided: August 31, 2015 September 1, 2015 Do Not Publish 2
