MEMORANDUM OPINION

No. 04-08-00623-CR IN RE Randall DOUGLAS Original Mandamus Proceeding1 PER CURIAM Sitting: Alma L. López, Chief Justice Karen Angelini, Justice Rebecca Simmons, Justice Delivered and Filed: September 10, 2008 PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED On August 15, 2008, relator Randall Douglas filed a petition for writ of mandamus, complaining of the trial court’s failure to rule on his Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus Release for Delay of Prosecution and Excessive Bail and his Motion for Reduction of Bond. Relator acknowledges he is represented by counsel. We conclude trial counsel is also relator’s counsel for an original proceeding on the issue presented. Relator is not entitled to hybrid representation. See Patrick v. State, 906 S.W.2d 481, 498 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995). The absence of a right to hybrid representation means relator’s pro se petition will be treated as presenting nothing for this court’s review. See id.; see also Gray v. Shipley, 877 S.W.2d 806, 806 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.]

This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 2007-CR-8538, styled The State of Texas v. Randall Douglas, in the 226th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, the Honorable Sid Harle presiding.

04-08-00623-CR 1994, orig. proceeding). Accordingly, relator’s petition is denied. Relator’s motion for leave to file the petition for writ of mandamus is denied as moot.
