After a public defender was appointed to represent defendant, the trial court granted his request to represent himself.

According to defendant, the public defender representing him at the time [t]old [him] the deal would be a little bit better if [he] confessed to the crimes. The court denied the motion, finding that defendant failed to show the confession was involuntary. Having undertaken an examination of the entire record, Court find no arguable error that would result in a disposition more favorable to defendant. The judgment is affirmed.
