MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relator, Rodney Marshall, seeks a writ of habeas corpus, claiming he is being illegally restrained by the Harris County Sheriff in connection with his arrest on the charge of robbery.1 Section 22.221 of the Government Code limits our power to issue habeas relief. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221(d) (West 2004).

Marshall complains in this petition that he is illegally restrained on a charge of robbery in a criminal case. Thus, we have no jurisdiction to grant relief in the case. We deny the petition.
