IN RE KENNETH W. MCKINNEY, Relator

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION

          Relator has filed in this Court a pro se petition for writ of mandamus asking that we order respondent to rule on a pro se writ of habeas corpus and pro se motions that he filed in trial court case number 1152170.

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

          The petition for writ of mandamus is therefore denied.

PER CURIAM
