PER CURIAM

Delivered and Filed: November 5, 2014

PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED

           Relator Steven Mitchell Gary filed this pro se petition for writ of mandamus on October

27, 2014, complaining of the trial court’s failure to rule on pending motions in the underlying

criminal proceeding. Relator has been appointed trial counsel to represent him in connection with

the criminal charges 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, 806 (Tex. App.—Houston
