PRO SE PETITION FOR REVIEW
[CIRCUIT COURT OF DESHA
COUNTY, CR 2007-121, HON. SAMUEL
POPE, JUDGE]
v.
STATE OF ARKANSAS
Respondent
PETITION DISMISSED.
PER CURIAM
Petitioner Robert Green, Jr., was found guilty by a jury of delivery of a controlled
substance and sentenced to 600 months’ imprisonment. The Arkansas Court of Appeals
affirmed. Green v. State, 2009 Ark. App. 589. Now before us is petitioner Green’s pro se petition
for review of the decision of the court of appeals.
We do not reach the merits of the petition because petitioner filed the petition
proceeding pro se, even though he was represented by counsel on appeal. We do not allow a
petitioner to substitute his judgment concerning whether and how to request a petition for
review for that of his attorney. George v. State, 2009 Ark. 444 (per curiam); Brewer v. State, 371
Ark. 532, 268 S.W.3d 332 (2007) (per curiam). Accordingly, the petition is dismissed.
Petition dismissed.
