Fourth Court of Appeals

MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-13-00396-CR
IN RE Darrick OLIVER
Original Mandamus Proceeding 1
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice
Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice
Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
Delivered and Filed: June 26, 2013
PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS DENIED
On June 20, 2013, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus complaining of the trial
court’s failure to rule on his motion for speedy trial and seeking an order compelling the trial court
to commence trial in the underlying criminal proceeding. Counsel has been appointed to represent
relator in the trial court. We conclude that appointed counsel for relator is also his counsel with
respect to the issues presented in this original proceeding. See Gray v. Shipley, 877 S.W.2d 806,
806 (Tex. App. — Houston [1st Dist.] 1994, orig. proceeding).
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
petition for writ of mandamus will be treated as presenting nothing for this court’s consideration.

See id. The court is of the opinion that relator is not entitled to the relief sought and the petition
