Opinion

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-15-00538-CR IN RE Kenneth McGRAW Original Mandamus Proceeding 1 PER CURIAM Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice Delivered and Filed: September 9, 2015 PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED Relator Kenneth McGraw filed this pro se petition for writ of mandamus on August 28, 2015, complaining of the trial court’s failure to rule on his three applications for writ of habeas corpus and various motions filed in the underlying criminal proceeding. Relator has been appointed trial counsel to represent him in connection with the criminal charges currently pending against him. We conclude that any original proceeding on the issue raised should be presented by relator’s trial counsel. 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 mandamus 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.] 1994, orig.

This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 2015CR6319, styled The State of Texas v. Kenneth McGraw, pending in the 399th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas, the Honorable Ray Olivarri presiding.

proceeding). Accordingly, relator’s petition for writ of mandamus is denied. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).
