IN RE DENNIS RICHARDS, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

WRIT OF PROHIBITION

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

On April 22, 2005, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus and writ of prohibition in this court.  See Tex. Gov=t. Code Ann. ' 22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.  He seeks to overturn the trial court=s order of confinement pending relator=s accelerated appeal of a condition of pre-trial bond.  Relator also seeks a writ of prohibition preventing the trial court from incarcerating him for failure to meet this condition of bond while his accelerated appeal is pending.

Relator has not established that he is entitled to extraordinary relief.  Accordingly, we deny relator=s petition for writ of mandamus and writ of prohibition.

PER CURIAM

Petition Denied and Memorandum Opinion filed April 26, 2005.

Panel consists of Justices Edelman, Seymore, and Guzman.
