Original Proceeding

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Demetrius Sherman Joseph Sr. filed a petition in which he seeks mandamus
relief in a case that was filed in a federal court. His petition neither identifies a
respondent judge of a state court within our district nor shows that a writ of
mandamus is necessary to protect this Court’s jurisdiction. See Tex. Gov’t Code
Ann. § 22.221 (a), (b). Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for lack of jurisdiction.
PETITION DISMISSED.
PER CURIAM
