Does the failure to conduct a confidential hearing on a request for appointment of new counsel prejudiced Ligons?

Ligons does not allege or discuss how the failure to conduct a confidential hearing on her request for appointment of new counsel prejudiced her. In any event, the record establishes that Ligons was not prejudiced by the failure to do so because, as noted above, no information that the prosecutor should not have been privy to was disclosed during the hearing. Thus, even if the court error by its failure to hold a confidential hearing, Ligons would not be entitled to reversal of the judgment.

The judgment is affirmed.
