IN RE WILLIAM L. RICE, JR., Relator

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM  OPINION
	Relator, William L. Rice, Jr., filed in this Court a pro se petition for writ of
mandamus.  Relator complains that respondent (1) has not provided him with a free copy
of the reporter's record in cause number 857604.  The direct appeal of relator's
conviction in cause number 857604 is pending in this Court in cause number 01-02-00094-CR.
	Relator is represented by appointed counsel in his direct appeal, No. 01-02-00094-CR.  Relator is not entitled to hybrid representation.  Gray v. Shipley, 877
S.W.2d 806 (Tex. App.--Houston [1st Dist.] 1994, orig. proceeding); Rudd v. State,
616 S.W.2d 623, 625 (Tex. Crim. App. 1981).  In addition, relator has not provided
this Court with a record that shows he made any request of respondent to perform a
nondiscretionary act that respondent refused.  See Barnes v. State, 832 S.W.2d 424,
426 (Tex. App.--Houston [1st Dist.] 1992, orig. proceeding).
	The petition for writ of mandamus is therefore denied.
	All pending motions are denied as moot.

Do not publish.   Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).
1.    	Respondent is the Honorable Susan Brown, Judge, 185th District Court, Harris
