----------- IN RE: Ronald Dwayne Whitfield, Relator
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator, Ronald Dwayne Whitfield, has filed two petitions for writ of mandamus relating to his conviction in trial court cause number 617718.1 In his first petition, 01-09-00697-CR, relator requests that this Court order respondent to render judgments according to law. Relator's second petition for writ of mandamus, 01-09-01008-CR, requests that this Court compel respondents to “recompute” time credits and award him all good time credits accrued since he was placed in custody of the Texas Department of Corrections. We deny the petitions for writ of mandamus.
