IN RE RONALD NEWTON, Relator
DISMISS in Part and DENY in Part; and Opinion File October 17, 2013.
Original Proceeding from the 298th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-13-11818
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices O'Neill, Lang-Miers, and Evans
Opinion by Justice Lang-Miers
The Court has before it relator's petition for writ of mandamus complaining of errors in the handling of his application for writ of habeas corpus in the trial court. To the extent relator is asking this Court to rule on his application for habeas corpus, we have no jurisdiction to do so, and DISMISS his petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. Art. 11.07 (West Supp. 2010). To the extent relator asks this Court to order the trial court to rule on his application for habeas corpus, he has not shown his entitlement to that relief, and we DENY the petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a); Simon v. Levario, 306 S.W.3d 318, 320-21 (Tex. Crim. App. 2009) (orig. proceeding).
