IN RE Phillip WEST

Original Mandamus Proceeding 1 PER CURIAM

Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice Beth Watkins, Justice

Delivered and Filed: February 26, 2020 PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED Relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus in which he asserts the trial court has failed to rule on several motions in his underlying criminal case. Relator is represented by 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 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).
