MEMORANDUM OPINION
	Relator Claude R. Turner filed a petition for writ of mandamus requesting that we order the
Texas Department of Criminal Justice-Institutional Division and the Texas Board of Pardons and
Paroles to recalculate his mandatory release date after applying his good-time credits.  This court has
no mandamus jurisdiction over the Texas Department of Criminal Justice or the Texas Board of
Pardons and Paroles.  See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.221 (Vernon Supp. 2003).  Accordingly, the
petition for writ of mandamus is dismissed.
