Opinion
No. 10-03-164-CV.
Opinion delivered and filed May 29, 2003.
Original Proceeding.
Before Chief Justice Davis, Justice Vance, and Justice Gray (Justice Vance concurred with the following note: "I would have invoked Rule of Appellate Procedure 2 and denied the petition on its merits. I would also retain the original petition in the court's file.")
MEMORANDUM OPINION
We strike inmate Dan Thomas's petition for writ of mandamus for failure to comply with our letter-notice dated May 16, 2003. Tex.R.App.P. 9.4(i).
We note that Thomas has apparently misinterpreted Lewis v. Johnson, 97 S.W.3d 885 (Tex.App.-Corpus Christi 2003, no pet.), as requiring or authorizing action by this Court. Chapter 14 of the Civil Practice and Remedies Code permits him to file suit within 30 days after he receives notice that his grievance was denied. Tex. Civ. Prac. Rem. Code Ann. § 14.005(b) (Vernon 2002).
The Clerk is directed to return all non-conforming documents to Thomas upon issuance of this opinion by the most expeditious delivery process available.
Petition Struck.
