Opinion

No. 01-08-00500-CR

Opinion issued June 27, 2008. DO NOT PUBLISH.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 KEYES and HIGLEY.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Relator, Rolando Ramos, has filed a petition for writ of mandamus naming Nathaniel Quarterman, as respondent. Relator's petition complains that he was denied due process by the Board of Paroles. Relator's petition does not meet the requirements of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. For example, it does not include an appendix, and it does not certify that a copy was served on respondent. See Tex. R. App. P. 9.5, 52.3(j). Moreover, this Court has no mandamus jurisdiction over the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221 (Vernon 2007). Therefore, the petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. It is so ORDERED.

Nathaniel Quarterman, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Correctional Institutions Division.

On August 22, 1991, Ramos pleaded guilty to the offense of burglary of a habitation in Harris County case number 604443. The trial court found Ramos guilty and sentenced him to confinement for 15 years. Relator is confined at the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Segovia Unit.

The certificate of service states that the mandamus was sent to the Clerk of Court for the First Court of Appeals.
