IN RE JIMMIE RICHARDSON, Relator
 
 

 
ORIGINAL
PROCEEDING
WRIT
OF MANDAMUS
 

 
M E M O R A N D U M   O
P I N I O N
On July 29, 2004, relator
filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this Court.  See Tex.
Gov=t. Code Ann. ' 22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52.  Relator asks us to
order respondent to grant relator an examining
trial.  See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art.
16.01 (Vernon Supp. 2004).  In his petition, relator
states that he was indicted for aggravated assault and kidnapping on May 17,
2004.  A defendant=s right to an examining trial is
ended by the return of an indictment.  State ex rel. Holmes v. Salinas,
784 S.W.2d 421, 424 (Tex. Crim. App. 1990).
Accordingly, relator is not
entitled to the relief sought in his petition. 
We deny his petition for writ of mandamus.
