IN RE ORLEAN AYERS, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF MANDAMUS

M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N

On June 8, 2009, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov=t Code Ann. ' 22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asked this court to compel the judge of the 176th District Court of Harris County to rule on relator=s motion for DNA testing.

As the party seeking relief, relator had the burden of presenting this court with a sufficient record to establish his right to mandamus relief. Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 837 (Tex. 1992). Relator has failed to meet this burden. Relator included with his petition a copy of a motion for DNA testing, but this copy bears no file stamp. Relator has not established that he is entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we deny relator=s petition for writ of mandamus.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Seymore, Brown, and Sullivan.
