                                  MEMORANDUM OPINION

                                           No. 04-22-00880-CR

                                EX PARTE Christopher-Jarvis PAYNE

                                           Original Proceeding 1

PER CURIAM

Sitting:          Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief Justice
                  Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
                  Liza A. Rodriguez, Justice

Delivered and Filed: February 15, 2023

PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS DENIED

           Relator filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus. 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 habeas corpus 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 habeas corpus is denied. See TEX. R. APP.

P. 52.8(a). Relator’s motion is denied as moot.

                                                       PER CURIAM
