IN RE JOHN WILLIAM PALMER, Relator
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator, John William Palmer, acting pro se but represented by counsel in the court below, has filed a petition for writ of mandamus. In the petition, he complains of the prosecutors' "conspiracy," asserting he did not waive his right to a jury trial but, rather, the trial court, prosecutors and stand-by counsel waived his right to a jury trial through "[f]raud [a]nd [f]alse [s]tatements." He seeks mandamus relief to "[a]llow [his] [r]ight [t]o [a] [j]ury [t]rial."
The underlying case is State of Texas v. John Palmer, cause number 1584989, pending in the 183rd District Court of Harris County, Texas, the Honorable Mark Kent Ellis presiding.
We deny relator's petition for writ of mandamus. All pending motions are denied as moot.
PER CURIAM Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack and Justices Lloyd and Kelly.
