The following excerpt is from People v. Smith, 134 Cal.Rptr.2d 1, 30 Cal.4th 581, 68 P.3d 302 (Cal. 2003):
Second, as we have seen, the court conducted a full inquiry into defendant's complaints. It allowed defendant to express himself fully. Its inquiry was "as comprehensive as the circumstances reasonably would permit." (Hudson v. Rushen, supra, 686 F.2d at p. 831.) "The court invited defendant to make a statement, listened to defendant's reasons for desiring new counsel, and found them to be without merit." (Ibid.)
