California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Crooks, D053734 (Cal. App. 8/7/2009), D053734 (Cal. App. 2009):
Crooks argues that the court violated his constitutional rights under People v. Marsden (1970) 2 Cal.3d 118 when it denied his request for continuance without inquiring into the reasons for his dissatisfaction with counsel. He also maintains that his request was "as timely as humanly possible."
