IN RE: Joel Soto (2016)

Court of Appeals of Texas, San Antonio.

IN RE: Joel Soto

No. 04–16–00383–CR

Decided: June 29, 2016

Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relator Joel Soto filed this pro se petition for writ of mandamus on June 20, 2016. Relator has been appointed trial counsel to represent him in connection with the criminal charges currently pending against him. 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).
