Original Mandamus Proceeding1
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Alma L. López, Chief Justice
Catherine Stone, Justice
Steven C. Hilbig, Justice
Delivered and Filed: July 23, 2008
PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED
Relator Lawrence Burleson has filed a pro se petition for a writ of mandamus seeking to
compel the trial court to “acknowledge and grant his motion for speedy trial and set his trial date.”
Counsel has been appointed to represent Burleson in the trial court causes. We conclude Burleson’s
appointed counsel is also counsel for an original proceeding on the issue presented. Burleson is not
entitled to hybrid representation. See Patrick v. State, 906 S.W.2d 481, 498 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995);
Gray v. Shipley, 877 S.W.2d 806, 806 (Tex. App.–Houston [1st Dist.] 1994, orig. proceeding).
Accordingly, the pro se petition for a writ of mandamus is denied. See TEX . R. APP . P. 52.8(a).
