Description
In this direct proceeding in this court, relator, Lawrence C. Pope, seeks a writ of mandamus directing Honorable Clarence Ferguson, Judge of the District Court, 77th Judicial District, Limestone County, to dismiss from the courts criminal docket cause No. 4742-A in which relator is charged by indictment with armed robbery of the First State Bank of Thornton, Texas. The writ is sought on the ground that relator has been denied his constitutional right of speedy trial as guaranteed to him by the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States and by Article I, ? 10, Constitution of Texas. We hold that this court does not have jurisdiction to grant the relief sought, and, accordingly, we deny the prayer for a writ of mandamus.
