MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-14-00816-CR
IN RE Jonathan L. BOLDEN
Original Mandamus Proceeding 1
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice
Marialyn Barnard, Justice
Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice
Delivered and Filed: December 10, 2014
PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED
Relator Jonathan Bolden filed this pro se petition for writ of mandamus on November 24,
2014, complaining of the trial court’s failure to rule on his application for writ of habeas corpus in
the underlying criminal proceeding. Relator has been appointed trial counsel to represent him in
connection with the criminal charges currently pending against him. We conclude that any original
proceeding on the issue raised should be presented by relator’s trial counsel. Relator 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 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,

This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 20014CR0957, styled The State of Texas v. Jonathan L. Bolden, pending in
the 175th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas, the Honorable Mary D. Roman presiding.
04-14-00816-CR
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).
