in Re: Richard Bradley

COURT OF APPEALS
EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
EL PASO, TEXAS
'
' No. 08-12-00237-CR
IN RE: RICHARD BRADLEY, ' AN ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
Relator. ' IN MANDAMUS
'
'
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator, Mr. Richard Bradley, has filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus requesting
that this Court order the Honorable Kenneth D. DeHart, Judge of the 394th District Court, to set
aside Relator’s conviction in Cause No. 2672.
To obtain relief through a writ of mandamus, a relator must establish that no other adequate
remedy at law is available and that the act he seeks to compel is ministerial. State ex rel. Young v.
Sixth Judicial Dist. Court of Appeals at Texarkana, 236 S.W.3d 207, 210 (Tex.Crim.App. 2007).
An act is ministerial if it does not involve the exercise of discretion. State ex rel. Hill v. Court of
Appeals for the Fifth District, 34 S.W.3d 924, 927 (Tex.Crim.App. 2001). Based on the petition
and record provided, Mr. Bradley has not demonstrated that he is entitled to mandamus relief.
See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8. Accordingly, the petition is denied.
