IN RE Justin SOWERS

Original Proceeding 1

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice

Delivered and Filed: August 22, 2018

PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS DENIED

Relator filed a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus raising several complaints about

his underlying criminal cases. Relator is represented by court-appointed trial counsel below;

therefore, he 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 petition

for writ of habeas corpus 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).
