Micheal L. McLAUGHLIN, Petitioner, v. STATE of Alaska, Respondent.

Court of Appeals of Alaska.

December 28, 2007.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Micheal L. McLaughlin, pro se, Kenai, for the Petitioner.

Kenneth M. Rosenstein, Assistant Attorney General, Office of Special Prosecutions and Appeals, Anchorage, and Talis J. Colberg, Attorney General, Juneau, for the Respondent.

Joshua P. Fink, Public Advocate, Anchorage, for real party in interest.

Before: COATS, Chief Judge, and MANNHEIMER and STEWART, Judges.

OPINION

COATS, Chief Judge.

This case raises the question of whether a defendant who is represented by counsel can file a pro se petition for review. We conclude that he cannot. We conclude that the decision whether to seek immediate appellate review of a trial court's non-appealable order is a tactical decision that is entrusted to the defendant's attorney under Alaska law.
