IN RE JASON RAY BOUCHARD, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING WRIT OF MANDAMUS 178th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1374815

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On April 4, 2014, relator Jason Ray Bouchard filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this Court. See Tex. Gov’t Code § 22.221; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this Court to compel his appointed defense attorney and the State’s attorney to provide relator copies of any documents filed with this Court in his related appeal.

Our mandamus jurisdiction is limited. By statute, we have authority to issue a writ of mandamus against a judge of a district or county court in our court of appeals district, and as necessary to enforce our appellate jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov’t Code § 22.221. Relator does not identify as a respondent a judge of a district or county court. Nor is issuance of the writ against either of the named respondents necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. Therefore, we have no jurisdiction to grant the requested relief.

Accordingly, we dismiss relator’s petition for writ of mandamus for lack of jurisdiction.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Frost and Justices Donovan and Brown. Do Not Publish — Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).
