The following excerpt is from Hernandez v. New Folsom State Prison Warden, 1:10-cv-00391-LJO-JLT HC (E.D. Cal. 2012):
disagreements did not warrant substitute counsel. See Brookhart v. Janis, 384 U.S. 1, 8, 86 S.Ct. 1245 (1966) ("[A] lawyer may properly make a tactical determination of how to run a trial even in the face of his client's incomprehension or even explicit disapproval.")
