IN RE MICHAEL CORBELLO

Original Proceeding 128th District Court of Orange County, Texas Trial Cause No. A190424-C __________________________________________________________________

MEMORANDUM OPINION

In a mandamus petition, Michael Corbello complains that the trial court has

failed to hold a hearing on a bill of review that Corbello filed concerning a plea

bargain agreement in a criminal case. An equitable bill of review has no application

to criminal cases. McLean v. State, 171 S.W.2d 889, 890 (Tex. Crim. App. 1943). A

writ of mandamus will not issue if the relator seeks a remedy that is unavailable. In

re Patton, No. 06-12-00024-CR, 2012 WL 629153, at *1 (Tex. App.—Texarkana

Feb. 28, 2012, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.) (denying mandamus petition seeking to

1 compel trial court to act on a petition for a bill of review regarding a criminal

conviction). We deny the petition for a writ of mandamus.

PETITION DENIED.
