Fourth Court of Appeals
                                       San Antonio, Texas
                                               May 10, 2023

                                           No. 04-23-00422-CR

                                         IN RE Mark MOLINA

                                           Original Proceeding 1

                                                  ORDER

        On April 26, 2023, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus. Relator is represented by
trial counsel below; therefore, he 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.
proceeding). Accordingly, relator’s petition for writ of mandamus is DENIED. See TEX. R. APP.
P. 52.8(a).

        It is so ORDERED on May 10, 2023.

                                                                    _____________________________
                                                                    Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice

       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said
court on this 10th day of May, 2023.

                                                                    _____________________________
                                                                    Michael A. Cruz, Clerk of Court
