Opinion

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-18-00627-CR IN RE James TRIBBLE Original Mandamus Proceeding 1 PER CURIAM Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice Karen Angelini, Justice Irene Rios, Justice Delivered and Filed: September 19, 2018 PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED Relator filed a pro se “Writ of Mandamus,” in which he complains the trial court “has failed to answer any motion, petition or action filed” by him “including his Habeas Corpus actions.”

According to relator, the only hearing conducted so far in his underlying criminal case is the August 15, 2018 arraignment. Relator is represented by trial counsel below; therefore, he is not entitled to hybrid representation. 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. proceeding). Accordingly, relator’s pro se petition for writ of mandamus is denied. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).

PER CURIAM DO NOT PUBLISH This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 2018CR7155, styled The State of Texas v. James Tribble, pending in the 131st Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas, the Honorable Ron Rangel presiding.
