COURT OF APPEALS EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS EL PASO, TEXAS IN RE: SAUL ROMERO, Relator. No. 08-09-00099-CV AN ORIGINAL PROCEEDING IN MANDAMUS MEMORANDUM OPINION ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS Relator has filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus requesting that this Court order the El Paso County District Clerk to file his "Notice to Sue Plaintiff's State Constitutional Claim for Wrongful Imprisonment and for Damages." This Court does not have the authority to issue a writ of mandamus against a private party. See Tex Gov't Code Ann. 22.221 (a) (Vernon 2004) . Therefore, mandamus relief is denied.
