State of Michigan v Sanchez, Docket No. 284987, unpublished September 29, 2009 (2009) Michigan Court of Appeals 2009 Trial court did not clearly err in finding that defendant's request to represent himself and waive his right to counsel was unequivocal, knowing, intelligent, and voluntary. Although defendant also discussed the option of hiring another attorney, he indicated that he was not satisfied with his appointed counsel, wanted him discharged, and felt he would be better off representing himself. He also indicated that he understood, after the trial court's repeated warnings, that he would not be appointed another attorney or stand-by counsel, so his options were to represent himself or try to hire another attorney in the few weeks before the rescheduled trial. The trial court warned defendant that it might be difficult to find another attorney. Defendant also indicated that he was "going to enjoy" representing himself on the first day of trial.
