                           MEMORANDUM OPINION
       Before Chief Justice Valdez, Justice Garza, and Justice Vela
                   Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam1
       Relator, R. Wayne Johnson, appearing pro se, has filed a petition for writ of

judge before filing suit in district court).

       Having reviewed and fully considered relator’s petition, this Court is of the

opinion that relator has not shown himself entitled to the relief requested and that the

petition should be denied. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a). Accordingly, relator’s petition

for writ of mandamus is DENIED.


                                                   PER CURIAM
