Ex Parte Christopher-Jarvis Payne

Opinion

Fourth Court of Appeals

San Antonio, Texas

No. 04-23-00010-CR

EX PARTE Christopher-Jarvis PAYNE

Original Proceeding 1

ORDER

Relator filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus. 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 habeas corpus 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 habeas corpus is DENIED. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(a).

It is so ORDERED on January 11, 2023.
