IN RE RICKIE LYNN GRAVES, Relator
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
O P I N I O N
Relator, Rickie Lynn Graves, filed a petition for writ of mandamus on August 15, 2002, complaining that the justice court (1) has failed to rule on his motion for judicial notice.
We do not have jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus to a justice of the peace unless he is interfering with our jurisdiction. Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221(a), (b) (Vernon 1988 & Supp. 2002); Easton v. Franks, 842 S.W.2d 772, 773 (Tex. App.--Houston [1st Dist.] 1992, orig. proceeding). Relator does not contend that the respondent has interfered with this Court's jurisdiction.
The petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
