Can a motion to dismiss his court appointed counsel proceed pro se?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Price, 474 F.2d 1223 (9th Cir. 1973):
After the jury had been impaneled and before it was sworn, Coffey moved to dismiss his court appointed counsel and have new counsel appointed, or in the alternative, moved for leave to proceed pro se. There was ample room for an exercise of discretion refusing to substitute new counsel on the eve of the trial. See Good v. United States (9th Cir. 1967) 378 F.2d 934. Denial of Coffey's motion to proceed pro se, however, is more troublesome.
