In The

Court of Appeals For The

First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-25-00716-CR ——————————— IN RE REGGIE KILLINGS, Relator

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relator, Reggie Killings, incarcerated and proceeding pro se, filed a petition

for a writ of mandamus stating that “because of the said detainer filed against him,”

the Texas Department of Criminal Justice has “denied [relator] certain privileges and

opportunities that are available to other inmates without a detainer logged against

them.” The mandamus petition further alleged that relator “filed a motion to dismiss

or be given time served,” but that “the clerk refuse[d] to either file the motion or the

[trial] court refuse[d] to answer.” Relator’s petition requested that the “detainer either be dismissed,” that he be given “time served,” or for the trial court to “hold a

hearing either through video or teleconference Zoom.”

Our review of relator’s mandamus petition reflects that he has failed to

establish that he is entitled to mandamus relief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3, 52.7.

Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P.

52.8(a). We dismiss any pending motions as moot.

PER CURIAM
