in Re David John Guardiola ( 2018 )

Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-18-00843-CR
IN RE David John GUARDIOLA
Original Mandamus Proceeding 1
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice
Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
Delivered and Filed: November 28, 2018
PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED
Relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus in which he asks this court to direct the trial
court to rule on his motion for a bail reduction. 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).
