What is the test for a motion to self-representate in a civil case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Lynch, 237 P.3d 416, 50 Cal.4th 693 (Cal. 2010):

that if the self-representation motion had been granted, defendant would have required an undetermined amount of time to investigate and prepare for trial. A trial court may properly consider the delay inherently caused by such uncertainty in evaluating timeliness. (See Morris v. Slappy, supra, 461 U.S. at p. 11, 103 S.Ct. 1610 [Trial

[237 P.3d 442]
