MEMORANDUM OPINION

Lasanah Massaquoi seeks a writ of habeas corpus based on the trial court's denial of his motion for new trial.^* He also seeks a change of venue.

We dismiss this petition for lack of jurisdiction. See TEX. GOV'T CODE § 22.221(d) (appellate courts have jurisdiction to issue writ of habeas corpus only when relator is imprisoned by virtue of order or judgment in civil case). Any pending motions are dismissed as moot.
