December 16, 2004. DO NOT PUBLISH.

An Original Proceeding in Mandamus.

Before Panel No. 2 BARAJAS, C.J., McCLURE, and CHEW, JJ.

OPINION

DAVID WELLINGTON CHEW, Justice.

Relator Naim Abdullah Walid has filed a petition for writ of mandamus, complaining of the trial court's refusal to set aside a void judgment of conviction. We do not have the authority to compel the trial court to set aside the judgment of conviction. The Court of Criminal Appeals has the exclusive authority to grant post-conviction relief. Ater v. Eighth Court of Appeals, 802 S.W.2d 241, 243 (Tex.Crim.App. 1991). Accordingly, the petition for writ of mandamus is denied.
