IN RE Sage BARRERA
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Original Mandamus Proceeding
This proceeding arises out of Cause No. JEV2-0323, styled Chererco, LLC v. Sage M. Barrera and Jenesy Barrera, pending in the Justice Court, Precinct Two, Guadalupe County, Texas, the Honorable Sheryl Sachtleben presiding.
PER CURIAM Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice

PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
On June 27, 2014, relator Sage Barrera filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus, seeking mandamus and emergency relief with respect to a judgment and order in a suit for eviction issued by Justice Sheryl Sachtleben, Justice of the Peace, Precinct Two, Guadalupe County, Texas. This court does not have jurisdiction to grant the requested relief. By statute, this court has the authority to issue a writ of mandamus against "a judge of a district or county court in the court of appeals district" and other writs as necessary to enforce our appellate jurisdiction. See TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. § 22.221(a)-(b) (West 2004). We conclude the writ is not necessary to enforce our appellate jurisdiction in this instance. Accordingly, relator's petition for writ of mandamus and request for emergency relief are dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
