EX PARTE CARL DOUGLAS SEDERHOLM, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

O P I N I O N

On September 10, 2002, relator, Carl Douglas Sederholm, filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus.  See Tex. Gov=t Code Ann. ' 22.221(d); Tex. R. App. P. 52.  Relator seeks release from restraint by the Sheriff of Wharton County, Texas, pursuant to a capias issued by the Hon. Daniel R. Sklar, Judge of the 329th Judicial District Court of Wharton County, Texas.

The court of appeals of a court of appeals district in which a person is illegally restrained may issue a writ of habeas corpus.  Tex. Gov=t Code Ann. ' 22.221(d).  Wharton County is not within the Fourteenth Court of Appeals District.  Tex. Gov=t Code Ann. ' 22.201(o).  Therefore, we are without jurisdiction to issue the writ in this proceeding.

Accordingly, we dismiss relator=s petition for writ of habeas corpus for want of jurisdiction.

PER CURIAM

Petition Dismissed and Opinion filed September 11, 2002.

Panel consists of Chief Justice Brister and Justices Hudson and Fowler.
