                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Cuong Van Nguyen filed a petition for writ of mandamus to compel the trial

court to issue a judgment nunc pro tunc crediting his sentence with time from the

date of indictment to the date of sentencing. The trial court subsequently signed a

judgment nunc pro tunc. Nunc pro tunc judgments are appealable orders. See

Blanton v. State, 369 S.W.3d 894, 904 (Tex. Crim. App. 2012). Mandamus relief is

not available to challenge an appealable order. See Alvarez v. Eighth Court of

Appeals of Tex., 977 S.W.2d 590, 592 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998). The petition for

writ of mandamus is denied.
