in Re: Joe Feijoo ( 2020 )

COURT OF APPEALS
EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
EL PASO, TEXAS
§
IN RE: § No. 08-19-00314-CR
JOE FEIJOO, § AN ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
Relator. § IN MANDAMUS
§
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator Joe Feijoo, a pro se inmate, has filed a mandamus petition against the 205th District
Court, alleging that the trial court had no jurisdiction to convict him of any criminal charges
because an assistant district attorney had declined to prosecute him on another charge in 1991.
The petition for writ of mandamus is denied.
Generally, mandamus relief is appropriate only to correct a clear abuse of discretion or to
compel the performance of a ministerial duty, and where the relator has no adequate remedy by
appeal. In re Reece, 341 S.W.3d 360, 364 (Tex. 2011)(orig. proceeding). The burden is on relator
to show it is entitled to mandamus relief. See In re Ford Motor Company, 165 S.W.3d 315, 317
(Tex. 2005)(orig. proceeding). After reviewing the mandamus petition and record, we conclude
that Relator has failed to show that he is entitled to mandamus relief. Accordingly, we deny the
petition for writ of mandamus.
