                              MEMORANDUM OPINION
                          Before Justices O'Neill, Lang-Miers, and Evans
                                  Opinion by Justice Lang-Miers
       The Court has before it relator’s petition for writ of mandamus complaining of errors in

the handling of his application for writ of habeas corpus in the trial court. To the extent relator is

asking this Court to rule on his application for habeas corpus, we have no jurisdiction to do so,

and DISMISS his petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. Art. 11.07

(West Supp. 2010). To the extent relator asks this Court to order the trial court to rule on his

application for habeas corpus, he has not shown his entitlement to that relief, and we DENY the

petition for writ of mandamus. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a); Simon v. Levario, 306 S.W.3d 318,

320-21 (Tex. Crim. App. 2009) (orig. proceeding).
