in Re Shane Matthew Buchel

Opinion

NUMBER 13-18-00520-CR

COURT OF APPEALS

THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

IN RE SHANE MATTHEW BUCHEL

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Longoria and Hinojosa Memorandum Opinion by Justice Longoria 1

Shane Matthew Buchel, proceeding pro se, filed a petition for writ of mandamus in

the above cause 2 through which he contends that the trial court erred by failing to

“consolidate restitution.” Buchel argues that the trial court incorrectly allowed the

collection of restitution for multiple cases according to each individual judgment and its

corresponding order to withdraw funds from his inmate trust account cases, even though

1 See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(d) (“When denying relief, the court may hand down an opinion but is not

required to do so.”); id. R. 47.4 (distinguishing opinions and memorandum opinions). 2This original proceeding arises from trial court cause number 15-11-12,325A in the 24th District Court of DeWitt County, Texas. The respondent in this original proceeding is the Honorable Kemper Stephen Williams. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.2. the restitution was ordered in connection with concurrent sentences. This Court

requested and received a response to the petition for writ of mandamus from the State of

Texas, acting by and through the District Attorney for DeWitt County, Texas. See TEX. R.

APP. P. 52.8(a),(b).

The Court, having examined and fully considered the petition for writ of mandamus,

the response, and the applicable law, is of the opinion that the petition for writ of

mandamus should be denied for the reasons expressed in our opinion in In re Shane

Matthew Buchel, No. 13-18-00509-CR, 2018 WL ___, at *_ (Tex. App.—Corpus Christi

Dec. 6, 2018, orig. proceeding) (mem. op., not designated for publication), available at

http: //www.search.txcourts.gov/case.aspx?cn=13-18-00509-CR&coa=coa13.

Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(d). We

likewise deny Buchel’s motion for nihil dicit judgment.
