AN ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

IN MANDAMUS

MEMORANDUM OPINION

	Donny Lee Bretz has filed a petition for writ of mandamus to compel the Texas Board of
Pardons and Paroles to provide him with a fair and impartial parole evaluation and review process.
We have jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus against certain judges within our geographic
district.  Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221(b) (West 2004).  We also have authority to issue a writ
of mandamus if it is necessary to enforce our jurisdiction.  Id. § 22.221(a).  Bretz does not seek
mandamus relief against a judge, and he has not shown that a writ is necessary to enforce our
jurisdiction.  Therefore, the petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed.
