in Re Christopher T. Brady ( 2018 )

Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-18-00506-CR
IN RE Christopher T. BRADY
Original Mandamus Proceeding 1
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice
Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
Delivered and Filed: August 1, 2018
PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED
Relator filed a “Writ for Violation on [sic] Defendant’s Constitutional Amendment
Rights,” in which he asks that “a Higher Court” review his case and that he be released from
confinement. Relator is represented by court-appointed 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).
