Does the Attorney General have the authority to order a substitute counsel?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Frierson, 280 Cal.Rptr. 440, 53 Cal.3d 730, 808 P.2d 1197 (Cal. 1991):

Next, relying on Marsden, supra, 2 Cal.3d 118, 84 Cal.Rptr. 156, 465 P.2d 44, defendant contends the court erred in not granting him yet another appointed counsel. As the Attorney General correctly points out, defendant never requested different counsel. Instead, he sought self-representation. His expressions of dissatisfaction with his attorney as a reason for this decision are insufficient to require the court to inquire whether he wanted substitute counsel. (People v. Burton (1989) 48 Cal.3d 843, 855, 258 Cal.Rptr. 184, 771 P.2d 1270.)
