IN RE KEVIN MICHAEL COFFEY

Original Proceeding

From the 443rd District Court Ellis County, Texas Trial Court Nos. 40456CR & 40458CR

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Kevin Coffey filed two Petitions for Writ of Mandamus in this Court on October

18, 2021. Coffey seeks to have this Court order the trial court to produce documents

relating to his post-conviction writs of habeas corpus, and for the Court to compel the

trial court to review his entire post-conviction writs of habeas corpus and resubmit them

to the Court of Criminal Appeals. Coffey further seeks to have the trial court reverse its

ruling on the motion to suppress evidence. This Court does not have jurisdiction over post-conviction writs of habeas corpus. See TEX. CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.07. Accordingly,

Coffey’s petitions for writ of mandamus are dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
