MEMORANDUM OPINION


On January 29, 2009, relator, Barry Dwayne Minnfee, filed a petition for writ of mandamus this court. See TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. § 22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In his petition, relator complains of the actions of the respondents, Stephanie Proyor and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. A court of appeals has the authority to issue writs of mandamus against a judge of a district or county court in the court of appeals' district and all writs necessary to enforce its jurisdiction. TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. § 22.221(b). Neither of the named respondents, Stephanie Proyor or the Federal Bureau of Investigation, is a district or county court judge and relator has not shown that the exercise of our mandamus authority against the respondents is necessary to enforce our jurisdiction. Therefore, we have no authority to issue a writ of mandamus against the respondents. Accordingly, relator's petition for writ of mandamus is ordered dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
