IN RE AMEER ANWAR RASHEED, Relator

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Relator filed in this Court a pro se motion to proceed as a pauper and a petition for writ of mandamus. The petition requests that we order respondent to rule on various pro se motions that relator filed in the 178th District Court in cause numbers 844617, 844618, 846842, 958164, and 959524.

               The motion to proceed as a pauper is granted.

               Relator is represented by appointed counsel in the trial court. Relator is not entitled to hybrid representation. Gray v. Shipley, 877 S.W.2d 806 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1994, orig. proceeding); Rudd v. State, 616 S.W.2d 623, 625 (Tex. Crim. App. 1981).

               The petition for writ of mandamus is therefore denied.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Hedges, Nuchia, and Higley.
