IN RE RUBEN SERNA

Original Mandamus Proceeding 1 PER CURIAM

Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice

Delivered and Filed: January 17, 2018 PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED Relator Ruben Serna filed this pro se petition for writ of mandamus on January 5, 2018.

Relator has been appointed trial counsel to represent him in connection with the criminal charges currently pending against him in all three trial cause numbers. 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).
