                       IN RE KEVIN MICHAEL COFFEY

                                Original Proceeding

                          From the 443rd District Court
                              Ellis County, Texas
                      Trial Court Nos. 40456CR & 40458CR

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Kevin Coffey filed two Petitions for Writ of Mandamus in this Court on October

18, 2021. Coffey seeks to have this Court order the trial court to produce documents

relating to his post-conviction writs of habeas corpus, and for the Court to compel the

trial court to review his entire post-conviction writs of habeas corpus and resubmit them

to the Court of Criminal Appeals. Coffey further seeks to have the trial court reverse its

ruling on the motion to suppress evidence. This Court does not have jurisdiction over
post-conviction writs of habeas corpus. See TEX. CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.07. Accordingly,

Coffey’s petitions for writ of mandamus are dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
