                              MEMORANDUM OPINION

       Relator Festus Johnson filed a petition for writ of mandamus with this Court.

Relator raises four issues, three of which seek to appeal a ruling by the trial court that he

alleges violated due process and denied him equal protection, and he also complains of

the trial court’s order denying him a free record.

       Relator 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) (To demonstrate entitlement to a writ of mandamus, a relator

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

no other adequate legal remedy.). Accordingly, we deny relief on the petition for writ of

mandamus.

                                              1
      PETITION DENIED.
