Syllabus

Defendant-appellant, following a jury trial, was convicted of one count of felonious assault, two counts of having weapons under disability, and one count of tampering with evidence. The trial court's imposition of court costs was not contrary to law, and trial counsel did not provide ineffective assistance of counsel by not requesting a waiver of court costs. The trial court correctly overruled Defendant-appellant's motion to supress upon the basis of third-party consent, and trial counsel did not render ineffective assistance regarding this issue. Finally, the trial court, upon this record, did not err in denying Defendant-appellant's less than unequivocal request to represent himself. Judgment affirmed.
