IN RE JULIUS J. CASEY, Relator

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relator, Julius J. Casey, petitions this Court to grant him habeas corpus relief. He argues that he is entitled to additional jail time credits. Relator is serving a 55-year sentence for aggravated robbery. This Court has no jurisdiction to hear a post-conviction application for writ of habeas corpus in a felony case. See Board of Pardons & Paroles ex rel. Keene v. Court of Appeals for the Eighth District, 910 S.W.2d 481, 483 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995). That authority rests exclusively with the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. See Ex parte Dunn, 976 S.W.2d 208 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998); Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07 (Vernon Supp. 2002).

Accordingly, we dismiss relator's petition for writ of habeas corpus for want of jurisdiction. All requested relief is denied.

It is so ORDERED.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Nuchia, Jennings, and Radack.
