P. v. Tuggle CA2/4
Appellant Marvin Lewis Tuggle appeals his convictions following a jury trial on three counts of second degree burglary of a vehicle (Pen. Code, § 459). He contends the trial court’s denial of his request for self-representation under Faretta v. California (1975) 422 U.S. 806 (Faretta), warrants reversal of his convictions. We find the trial court did not abuse its discretion in ruling that the timing of appellant’s Faretta request immediately following the denial of his Marsden motion, along with his obstreperous conduct while in jail, justified denying his request for self-representation. Accordingly, we affirm the lower court’s judgment.
