Counsel has been appointed to represent relator in the trial court. We conclude that appointed counsel for relator is also his counsel for an original proceeding on the issues presented. Relator 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 petition for writ of mandamus will be treated as presenting nothing for this court s consideration. ¦ This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 2009-CR-7143, styled The State of Texas v. Deaon Hargrove, pending in the 226th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas, the Honorable Sid L. Harle presiding. 1 04-10-00054-CR See id.; see also Gray v. Shipley, 877 S.W.2d 806 (Tex. App. Houston [1st Dist.] 1994, orig. proceeding). Consequently, this court has determined that relator is not entitled to the relief sought. Therefore, the petition is DENIED. TEX . R. APP . P. 52.8(a). Relator is encouraged to refrain from filing further pro se petitions regarding his pending criminal proceeding. PER CURIAM DO NOT PUBLISH -2-
