In re: SHANNON MARK DOUTHIT, RELATOR.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF
MANDAMUS
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator Shannon Douthit, pro se, has filed a petition for writ of mandamus requesting that this Court compel the presiding judge of the 394th Judicial District Court of Presidio County Texas, to consider and grant his application for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 11.07.
Relief by writ of mandamus is appropriate in instances where the relator demonstrates there is no adequate remedy at law available to correct the alleged harm, and that the action sought is not discretionary. See Simon v. Levario, 306 S.W.3d 318, 320 (Tex.Crim.App. 2009)(orig. proceeding). Based on the record before us, Relator has not demonstrated he is entitled to mandamus relief. See TEX.R.APP.P. 52.3. Accordingly, the petition is DENIED.
