IN RE DOUGLAS W. STREBEL, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

            On September 24, 2009, relator, Douglas W. Strebel, filed a petition for writ of mandamus and petition for writ of habeas corpus in this Court.  See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.  In the petitions, relator asks this Court to compel the Honorable David Garner, presiding judge of the 10th District Court of Galveston County, to set aside his August 28, 2009 order requiring relator to deposit an additional $250,000 into the registry of the court, and assessing a sanction of $20,000 if the additional funds were not deposited timely. 

            Relator has not established his entitlement to the relief of a writ of mandamus or a writ of habeas corpus.  Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus and petition for writ of habeas corpus.

                                                                        PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Yates, Frost, and Brown.
