IN RE: ADONIS TARBUTTON
Original Mandamus Proceeding
Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Moseley
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Adonis Tarbutton has petitioned this Court to issue a writ of mandamus compelling Collin
County Criminal District Attorney John Roach to provide any exculpatory evidence Roach may have
in his possession. We are without jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against a district attorney.
See TEX . GOV 'T CODE ANN . § 22.221(b) (Vernon 2004); In re Ruston, No. 05-07-01379-CV, 2007
Tex. App. LEXIS 8726 (Tex. App.—Dallas Nov. 2, 2007, orig. proceeding) (mem. op., released for
publication).
We deny Tarbutton's petition.
