MEMORANDUM OPINION


On February 8, 2008, relator, Kendal Ray Smith, filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this court to compel the presiding judge of the 182nd District Court, Harris County, to direct his trial attorney to file an affidavit, which respondent had previously ordered the attorney to file, regarding relator's ineffective assistance of counsel claims raised in the application for writ of habeas corpus.

Relator has not established his entitlement to the extraordinary relief of a writ of mandamus. Accordingly, we deny relator's petition for writ of mandamus.
