IN RE WILLIAM L. RICE, JR., Relator
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relator, William L. Rice, Jr., filed in this Court a pro se petition for writ of
mandamus. Relator complains that respondent (1) has not provided him with a free copy
of the reporter's record in cause number 857604. The direct appeal of relator's
conviction in cause number 857604 is pending in this Court in cause number 01-02-00094-CR.
Relator is represented by appointed counsel in his direct appeal, No. 01-02-00094-CR. Relator is not entitled to hybrid representation. Gray v. Shipley , 877
S.W.2d 806 (Tex. App.--Houston [1st Dist.] 1994, orig. proceeding); Rudd v. State ,
616 S.W.2d 623, 625 (Tex. Crim. App. 1981). In addition, relator has not provided
this Court with a record that shows he made any request of respondent to perform a
nondiscretionary act that respondent refused. See Barnes v. State , 832 S.W.2d 424,
426 (Tex. App.--Houston [1st Dist.] 1992, orig. proceeding).
The petition for writ of mandamus is therefore denied .
All pending motions are denied as moot .
