in Re Lawrence L. Cloud

Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-18-00648-CR
In re Lawrence L. Cloud
Original Mandamus Proceeding 1
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice
Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
Irene Rios, Justice
Delivered and Filed: October 3, 2018
PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED
Relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus in which he asks this court to release him
from custody and dismiss with prejudice his two underlying criminal cases. 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).
