MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
On October 4, 2022, relator filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus in which he asks this court to order relator's prior counsel to turn over his file to relator's current counsel. 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).
We deny as moot relator's motion for leave to file a petition for writ of mandamus because leave is not required to file a petition in an intermediate appellate court. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.1; In re Medina, 04-19-00041-CR, 2019 WL 360534, at *1 (Tex. App.-San Antonio Jan. 30, 2019, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.). Additionally, we deny as moot relator's motion for indigency determination.
