Fourth Court of Appeals
                                      San Antonio, Texas
                                            January 11, 2023

                                          No. 04-23-00010-CR

                               EX PARTE Christopher-Jarvis PAYNE

                                          Original Proceeding 1

                                                 ORDER

        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).

        It is so ORDERED on January 11, 2023.

                                                                   _____________________________
                                                                   Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice

       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said
court on this 11th day of January, 2023.

                                                                   _____________________________
                                                                   Michael A. Cruz, Clerk of Court
