IN RE:
CALVIN YARBROUGH
Original Mandamus Proceeding
Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Calvin Yarbrough has filed a document with this Court that we deem to be a request for relief through a petition for writ of mandamus. He has no pending appeal, but asks us to order the Harrison County District Clerk to produce and provide him with a complete certified transcription of the grand jury minutes, presumably from the cause underlying his 2005 conviction for aggravated assault.
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). In this context, the relief sought by Yarbrough against a district clerk is not within the jurisdictional authority of this Court.
We deny the petition for writ of mandamus.
Josh R. Morriss, III
Chief Justice
