Robinson v. Kramer, No. 07-55611

In a drug possession prosecution, denial of petitioner's habeas petition is affirmed where petitioner never raised a claim for unconstitutional denial of his right to self-representation -- i.e. to proceed without a lawyer -- on direct appeal in the state courts, nor in his state habeas petition, nor in his district court habeas petition.
