                                  MEMORANDUM OPINION

                                           No. 04-23-00422-CR

                                         IN RE Mark MOLINA

                                           Original Proceeding 1

PER CURIAM

Sitting:          Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
                  Liza A. Rodriguez, Justice
                  Lori I. Valenzuela, Justice

Delivered and Filed: May 10, 2023

PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED

           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).
