EX PARTE MARCOS GUTIERREZ, Relator

---

Original Proceeding on Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus

---

O P I N I O N

Relator has filed an application for writ of habeas corpus in which he requests that this Court set a reasonable amount of bail in trial court cause number 855998. He has also filed an emergency motion for reasonable bail pending appeal.

This Court issued an opinion dismissing the appeal of relator's felony conviction in cause number 855998 on August 30, 2001. See Gutierrez v. State, No. 01-01-00030-CR, slip op. at 4 (Tex. App.--Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, pet. ref'd) (not designated for publication). Relator's petition for discretionary review was refused by the Court of Criminal Appeals on January 30, 2002. Our mandate issued on March 8, 2002.

This Court has no jurisdiction to hear a post-conviction application for writ of habeas corpus in a felony case. See Board of Pardons & Paroles ex rel. Keene v. Court of Appeals for the Eighth District, 910 S.W.2d 481, 483 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995); Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07 (Vernon Supp. 2002). Accordingly, we dismiss relator's application for writ of habeas corpus for want of jurisdiction. All requested relief is denied. The emergency motion for reasonable bail pending appeal is also denied.

  PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Schneider, and Justices Taft and Radack.
