Opinion issued May 27, 2004. DO NOT PUBLISH. Tex.R.App.P. 47.2(b).

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus.

Panel consists of Chief Justice RADACK, and Justices ALCALA and BLAND.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Relator filed in this Court a motion for leave to file petition for writ of mandamus and the petition. The motion for leave to file is granted. In the petition, relator requests that this Court order respondent, Ed Wells, Clerk of the Fourteenth Court of Appeals, to correct that court's records in his two criminal appeals assigned to that court. We deny relief. This Court has no mandamus authority over the Fourteenth Court of Appeals. See TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. § 22.221 (Vernon Supp. 2004). Mandamus jurisdiction over the courts of appeals lies only with the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals in criminal cases. State ex rel. Hill v. Court of Appeals for the Fifth District, 34 S.W.3d 924, 926-27 (Tex.Crim.App. 2001). Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is denied.
