Description:
Pursuant to his guilty plea, Matthew Fuller was convicted of one felony count of possessing more than two ounces of marijuana but less than one-half pound. The circuit court suspended the execution of a prison sentence and placed Fuller on supervised probation. After the second of two post-sentencing arrests, the court ordered Fuller held in jail pending the resolution of the State's petition to revoke his probation. The court appointed two attorneys in succession to assist Fuller in the probation revocation proceeding. Each attorney moved to withdraw, and the court granted both requests. The court did not appoint substitute counsel after allowing the second attorney's withdrawal. The court conducted the revocation hearing with Fuller acting pro se after denying his request for a continuance and for the appointment of counsel. After finding that Fuller violated the terms of his probation, the court executed the previously suspended two-year prison sentence.
