                        IN RE QUINCY BUTLER, Relator

             Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Relator does not identify the style or case number of the underlying proceeding

court in the court of appeals district” and other writs as necessary to enforce our

appellate jurisdiction. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221(a)–(b) (Vernon 2004).

The relief Butler seeks is not necessary to enforce our appellate jurisdiction.

      Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus for lack of

jurisdiction.
