The following excerpt is from People v. Mata, H035445, H036777 (Cal. App. 2011):

On appeal, "[w]e review a trial court's decision declining to relieve appointed counsel under the deferential abuse of discretion standard." (People v. Jones (2003) 29 Cal.4th 1229, 1245.) Pursuant to that standard of review, we find no error.
