                                                      IN RE:  JOHN E. JACKSON

                                                     Original Mandamus Proceeding

                                          Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.

                                            Memorandum Opinion by Justice Moseley

                                                     MEMORANDUM  OPINION

            John E. Jackson has filed a petition seeking mandamus relief against Larry Merriman, judge of the municipal court of the City of Longview.  This Court has jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against "a judge of a district or county court in the court of appeals district."  Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221(b) (Vernon 2004).  We have no mandamus authority over a municipal court judge.

            We deny the petition.

                                                                        Bailey C. Moseley

                                                                        Justice
