IN RE GREGORY B. JACKSON, Relator

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

OPINION ON MOTION FOR REHEARING AND TO SUPPLEMENT AND AMEND BY CHANGING PARTIES

On June 13, 2002, the Court issued an opinion dismissing relator's petition for writ of mandamus against the Texas Attorney General, John Cornyn. Relator has filed a "motion for rehearing and to supplement and amend by changing parties," in which he requests this Court to change the named respondent to Harris County District Attorney Charles Rosenthal.

This Court has no jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against a county district attorney. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. §§ 22.002(c), 22.221 (Vernon Supp. 2002). Relator's motion is denied, and the petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
