                           Original Proceeding
            Criminal District Court of Jefferson County, Texas
                      Trial Cause No. 08-04992-A
__________________________________________________________________

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Relator Marvin Holmes filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus, in

which he alleges that the trial court illegally sentenced him after he pleaded no

contest pursuant to a plea bargain agreement. Holmes has not demonstrated that he

is clearly entitled to mandamus relief from this Court. See State ex rel. Hill v.

Court of Appeals for the Fifth Dist., 34 S.W.3d 924, 927 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001)

(orig. proceeding) (To demonstrate entitlement to a writ of mandamus, a relator

must establish that the trial court failed to perform a ministerial duty, and that

                                        1
relator has no other adequate legal remedy.). Accordingly, we deny relief on the

petition for writ of mandamus.

      PETITION DENIED.
