Notes of Decisions
Where case against defendant was 20 months old and had already been postponed four times and defendant had been advised by four attorneys and thought himself more competent than any of them and waived his right to assistance of counsel, trial court did not err in not appointing another counsel. State v. Pagan, 80 Or App 65, 721 P2d 859 (1986), Sup Ct review denied
Defendant must be permitted to state reasons why counsel should be discharged and new counsel appointed. State v. McCabe, 103 Or App 426, 797 P2d 406 (1990)
