Certiorari to the Court of Appeals of Georgia — 209 Ga. App. 87.

Michael J. Paino, pro se. Johnnie L. Caldwell, Jr., District Attorney, for appellee.


Michael J. Paino has petitioned this court to appoint counsel to represent him in the filing of a petition for certiorari. There is no constitutional right to representation of counsel on certiorari. The constitutional right extends only through the prosecution of a direct appeal. Therefore, Paino's motion is denied.

All the Justices concur.
