                                  MEMORANDUM OPINION

                                          No. 04-23-00646-CR

                                        IN RE Ernesto MEDINA

                                           Original Proceeding 1

PER CURIAM

Sitting:          Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
                  Irene Rios, Justice
                  Beth Watkins, Justice

Delivered and Filed: July 19, 2023

PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED

           On July 3, 2023, Relator Ernesto Medina filed a petition for writ of mandamus. Relator is

represented by trial counsel below; therefore, he is not entitled to hybrid representation. 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).
