U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 21-3478
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota
[PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Erickson and Kobes, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law. At his probation revocation, defendant
showed he was justifiably dissatisfied with his appointed attorney who was
unprepared to handle the proceedings; the district court erred by forcing
defendant to either proceed pro se or with his unprepared attorney, and
defendant's wavier of his right to counsel was not knowing or voluntary;
the revocation judgment is reversed, and the matter is remanded for
further proceedings. Judge Kobes, dissenting.
