IN RE Joel SOTO
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Original Mandamus Proceeding PER CURIAM Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED
This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 2015CR8804, styled The State of Texas v. Joel Soto, pending in the 379th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas, the Honorable Ron Rangel presiding. --------
Relator Joel Soto filed this pro se petition for writ of mandamus on June 20, 2016. Relator has been appointed trial counsel to represent him in connection with the criminal charges currently pending against him. Relator 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).
