Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-18-00648-CR In re Lawrence L. Cloud Original Mandamus Proceeding 1 PER CURIAM Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice Irene Rios, Justice Delivered and Filed: October 3, 2018 PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED Relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus in which he asks this court to release him from custody and dismiss with prejudice his two underlying criminal cases. 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). PER CURIAM Do not publish 1 This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 2018CR7275 2018CR8315, styled The State of Texas v. Lawrence L. Cloud, pending in the 379th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas, the Honorable Ron Rangel presiding.
