Green v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseA jury found Appellant Michael Green guilty of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, for which he was sentenced as an habitual offender. Appellant subsequently filed a petition for postconviction relief, alleging ineffective assistance of counsel. The circuit court denied the petition without a hearing, finding that the twenty-one page brief Appellant filed with the petition violated the ten-page-limit rule on petitions. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the circuit court did not err when it denied Appellant's petition without a hearing, and (2) the circuit court did not abuse its discretion in not considering Appellant's brief tendered in support of the petition.
