Does a court abuse its power to revoke a defendant's pro. per. status at his own request?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from The People v. Wasdon, B218842, BA286996, No. BA326282 (Cal. App. 2010):
We conclude that the trial court did not abuse its discretion when it revoked defendant's pro. per. status at defendant's own request, particularly in light of his statement that he was not competent to take his case to trial. (Martinez v. Court of Appeal of Cal., Fourth Appellate Dist. (2000) 528 U.S. 152, 162-163 [120 S.Ct. 684, 145 L.Ed.2d 597].)
