IN RE: Gerald Anthony Wright (2010)

M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N

Gerald Anthony Wright has petitioned the Court for a writ of mandamus directing the board of pardons and paroles to release him to mandatory supervision.   The Court is authorized to issue all writs of mandamus against a judge of a district or county court in its district, but the Court's mandamus authority is otherwise limited to the enforcement of its jurisdiction.  Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221 (West 2004).   Wright's claim against the parole board does not implicate the Court's jurisdiction.   The petition for writ of mandamus is denied.
