MEMORANDUM OPINION
On February 19, 2008, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus, complaining that the respondent has not ruled on certain motions. Counsel has been appointed to represent relator in the trial court. We conclude that appointed counsel for relator is also his counsel for an original proceeding on the issues presented. Relator 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 petition for writ of mandamus will be treated as presenting nothing for this court's consideration. See id.; see also Gray v. Shipley, 877 S.W.2d 806 (Tex.App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 1994, orig. proceeding). Consequently, this court has determined that relator is not entitled to the relief sought. Therefore, the petition is DENIED. Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a). Relator is encouraged to refrain from filing further pro se petitions regarding his pending criminal proceeding.
