United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
Aug. 8, 2012.
Heather Harris Rattan, Esq., Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Plano, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
Francesk Shkambi, Bonham, TX, pro se.
Before WIENER, ELROD, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Francesk Shkambi appeals the district court's order denying him release pending trial. Shkambi is charged with conspiring to distribute or to possess with the intent to distribute cocaine, heroin, marijuana, or ecstacy, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841 and 846. He contends that he is not a flight risk or a danger to the community.
Shkambi is proceeding pro se, although the record shows that he is represented by counsel. We do not permit hybrid representation. United States v. Ogbonna, 184 F.3d 447, 449 & n. 1 (5th Cir.1999); 5th Cir. R. 28.6. Further, the record evidence support's the district court's determination that no conditions exist that would reasonably assure Shkambi's appearance and the safety of the community were he to be released pending trial. See 18 U.S.C. § 3142. The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Shkambi release pending trial. United States v. Rueben, 974 F.2d 580, 586 (5th Cir.1992); United States v. Hare, 873 F.2d 796, 798-99 (5th Cir.1989).
AFFIRMED.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
