Is a party who chooses to serve as his own attorney entitled to request to vacate any of the orders against him?

We further note that the trial court was not required to grant Father's request to vacate any of the orders based on his assertion he made errors because he was representing himself. A party who chooses to serve as his own attorney is not entitled either to privileges and indulgences denied attorneys or to privileges and indulgences not accorded parties represented by counsel. (Rappleyea v. Campbell (1994) 8 Cal.4th 975, 984 ["mere self-representation is not a ground for exceptionally lenient treatment."]
