Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-23-00646-CR IN RE Ernesto MEDINA Original Proceeding 1 PER CURIAM Sitting: Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice Irene Rios, Justice Beth Watkins, Justice Delivered and Filed: July 19, 2023 PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED On July 3, 2023, Relator Ernesto Medina filed a petition for writ of mandamus. 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 petition for writ of mandamus is denied. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).

This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 2017-CR-4038, styled State of Texas v. Ernesto Medina, pending in the 379th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas, the Honorable Ron Rangel presiding.
