MEMORANDUM OPINION

Pardons and Paroles to provide him with a fair and impartial parole evaluation and review process.
We have jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against certain judges within our geographic
district. TEX . GOV ’T CODE ANN . § 22.221(b) (West 2004). We also have authority to issue a writ
of mandamus if it is necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. Id. § 22.221(a). Bretz does not seek
mandamus relief against a judge, and he has not shown that a writ is necessary to enforce our
jurisdiction. Therefore, the petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed.
