IN RE JOSHUA JOHNSTON, Relator

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
239th District Court
Brazoria County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 90671-CR

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On August 19, 2024, relator Joshua Johnston filed a petition for writ of
mandamus and motion for temporary relief in this Court. See Tex. Gov’t Code
Ann. § 22.221; see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this Court
to compel the Honorable Greg Hill, presiding judge of the 239th District Court of
Brazoria County, to vacate his August 16, 2024 order denying relator’s motion for
continuance. In the motion for temporary relief, relator seeks to stay the jury trial
set to commence on August 19, 2024.

Relator has not established that he is entitled to mandamus relief.
Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus. Additionally, we
deny his motion for temporary relief.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Jewell, Bourliot, and Zimmerer.
Do Not Publish — Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).
