                  IN RE VICTOR MANUEL LOPEZ, Relator

            Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Relator, Victor Manuel Lopez, has filed an “Emergency Writ of Exigi Facias

and Mandamus,” which we consider as a petition for a writ of mandamus. See TEX.

GOV’T CODE ANN. § 22.221(a) (West Supp. 2017) (providing court of appeals may

issue writ of mandamus and “other writs necessary to enforce the jurisdiction of the
court”). Relator seeks issuance of the writ to compel the trial court to dismiss the

indictment in the underlying proceeding.1

      We deny the petition.

                                  PER CURIAM
