Ex Parte Christopher-Jarvis Payne ( 2023 )

Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
February 15, 2023
No. 04-22-00880-CR
EX PARTE Christopher-Jarvis PAYNE
Original Proceeding 1
ORDER
Relator filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus. Relator is represented by trial counsel
below; therefore, he 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 habeas corpus 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 habeas corpus is DENIED. See TEX. R.
APP. P. 52.8(a). Relator’s motion is DENIED as moot.
It is so ORDERED on February 15, 2023.
