How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that defendant waived his right to counsel “not because he ever stated, in so many words, that he did not want attorney representation,” but because he demonstrated waiver by conduct in dismissing several court-appointed attorneys
• holding that defendant waived his right to counsel “not because he ever stated, in so many words, that he did not want attorney representation,” but because he demonstrated waiver by conduct in dismissing several court-appointed attorneys
• finding that grouping would not be appropriate because the money guideline range was not “largely determined” by the aggregate amount of harm or loss
• noting that “the Supreme Court has soundly rejected the proposition that the pre-trial seizure of assets that would otherwise be used to pay an attorney implicates the Sixth Amendment”
• considering defendant’s background as a disbarred attorney and his conduct at trial in affirming that defendant’s waiver of his right to counsel was intelligently made
• one factor to consider in the good cause inquiry is whether the attorney/client conflict was so great as to prevent an adequate defense
