IN RE CURTIS MACK LEWIS, Relator

PER CURIAM

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relator, Curtis Mack Lewis, petitioned for writ of mandamus asking that we compel the trial court to rule on his April 25, 2011 motion for DNA testing.¹

1 The underlying case is Curtis Mack Lewis v. State of Texas, No. 599582 (351st Dist. Ct., Harris Cnty., Tex.), the Honorable Mark Kent Ellis, presiding.

We deny the petition for writ of mandamus.² Any pending motions are dismissed as moot.

2 Relator has failed to comply with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 52.3. Furthermore, although relator mentions the standards for habeas corpus in his petition, this Court has no original habeas corpus jurisdiction in criminal law matters. See TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. § 22.221 (Vernon 2004).
