ARKANSAS SUPREME COURT No. CR 04-754 NOT DESIGNATED FOR PUBLICATION October 14, 2004 BRUNSON ROBERTS APPELLANT v. STATE OF ARKANSAS APPELLEE Opinion Delivered PRO SE PETITION FOR REVIEW [CIRCUIT COURT OF PULASKI COUNTY, CR 2002-1866, HON. WILLARD PROCTOR, JUDGE] PETITION DENIED PER CURIAM Brunson Roberts was found guilty of possession of a controlled substance and sentenced to fourteen years' imprisonment. The court of appeals affirmed. Roberts v. State, CACR 03-625 (Ark. App. June 30, 2004). Now before us is Roberts's pro se petition for review in this court. Appellant Roberts was represented by counsel in the appeal to the court of appeals. He has not demonstrated that there is some good cause to permit him to enjoy representation by counsel and to also file pro se pleadings. It is well settled that having accepted representation by counsel, an appellant is not entitled to pursue his own motions for relief and also rely on counsel to represent him. See Monts v. Lessenberry, 305 Ark. 202, 806 S.W.2d 379 (1991). Accordingly, the pro se petition for review is denied. Petition for review denied.
