IN RE ERICK ANDIKA RELATOR

------------

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

MEMORANDUM OPINION1

The court has considered relator’s “Petition For Writ of Mandamus to

Correct an Illegal Sentence” and is of the opinion that relief should be denied.2

Accordingly, relator’s petition for writ of mandamus is denied.

PER CURIAM

PANEL: WALKER, DAUPHINOT, and MCCOY, JJ.

1 See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4, 52.8(d). 2 Our denial of mandamus relief does not preclude relator from seeking relief on his claim of an illegal sentence through a properly-raised article 11.07 writ of habeas corpus. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07 (West Supp. 2013); see also Ex parte Rich, 194 S.W.3d 508, 511 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006) (“We have long held that a claim of an illegal sentence is cognizable on a writ of habeas corpus.”). DELIVERED: November 12, 2013
