California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Delgadillo, B191395 (Cal. App. 7/26/2007), B191395 (Cal. App. 2007):
Delgadillo argues that curtailing his access to the law library as described above was an unconstitutional restriction on his right to self-representation and requires his conviction be reversed. We disagree. To be sure, the state may not unreasonably hinder a pro per defendant's efforts to prepare his defense (Milton v. Morris (9th Cir. 1985) 767 F.2d 1443, 1446-1447), but we find no evidence of unreasonable hindrance in this case.
