IN RE STEPHEN CRAIG RICHARDS

Original Proceeding

MEMORANDUM OPINION (1)
	Relator seeks a writ of mandamus to compel the Jefferson County District Attorney
to dismiss an indictment.  The District Attorney is not a person against whom we may
issue a writ of mandamus other than to protect our jurisdiction, and Relator has not shown
that the writ is necessary to enforce our jurisdiction.  See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. §
22.221 (Vernon Supp. 2003).  
	The petition for writ of mandamus, filed April 2, 2003, is DENIED.
								PER CURIAM

Opinion Delivered April 10, 2003
