Opinion issued August 31, 2023

                                       In The

                               Court of Appeals
                                      For The

                           First District of Texas
                             ————————————

                           IN RE J.B. BLACK, Relator

            Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Relator, J.B. Black, incarcerated and proceeding pro se, has filed a petition for

a writ of mandamus requesting that this Court enter a writ of mandamus directing

the trial court to “hold a hearing on [relator’s] Memorandum and Motion to Dismiss
for Lack of Subject Matter Jurisdiction and order the trial court to dismiss the

indictment.”1

      Our review of Black’s mandamus petition reflects that he has failed to

establish that he is entitled to mandamus relief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3(k), 52.7,

52.8; see also Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 837 (Tex. 1992). Accordingly,

we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). We

dismiss any pending motions as moot.

                                  PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Countiss, Guerra, and Farris.

Do not publish. TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).
