IN RE SERGIO ORTIZ , Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

On July 22, 2003, relator, Sergio Ortiz, filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus.  See Tex. Gov=t Code Ann. ' 22.221(d) (Vernon Supp. 2003);  see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.

We are unable to consider relator=s petition for writ of habeas corpus because our authority to entertain petitions for writ of habeas corpus extends solely to the actions of judges in civil cases.  See Tex. Gov=t Code Ann. ' 22.221(d).  Therefore, we dismiss relator=s petition for lack of jurisdiction. 

PER CURIAM

Petition Dismissed for Lack of Jurisdiction and Memorandum Opinion filed July 31, 2003.

Panel consists of Justices Anderson, Seymore, and Guzman.
