IN RE Joseph PARKER

Original Mandamus Proceeding

PER CURIAM

Sitting:            Alma L. López, Chief Justice

Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice

Rebecca Simmons, Justice

Delivered and Filed:   January 25, 2006

PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION

            Joseph Parker seeks a writ of mandamus ordering the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles to release him from incarceration. This court does not have jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles unless such a writ would be necessary to enforce our jurisdiction of which Parker has made no showing. See Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also In re Cain, No. 04-00-00148-CV, 2000 WL 329179 (Tex. App.—San Antonio Mar. 29, 2000, orig. proceeding). Accordingly, Parker’s petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
