222054P.pdf   06/01/2023  Darrell Bolden  v.  David Vandergriff
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  22-2054
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Erickson, Author, with Kelly and Stras, Circuit Judges] 
   Prisoner case - Habeas. The district court erred in concluding that the 
   Missouri Court of Appeals unreasonably applied clearly established federal 
   law in determining Bolden had not been deprived of his right to 
   self-representation because Bolden's assertion of the right to proceed pro 
   se at trial was not unequivocal; Bolden conditioned his 
   self-representation request on his speedy trial motions being denied and 
   wanted counsel to depose witnesses even after being told counsel could not 
   do so if Bolden was pro se. Judge Kelly, dissenting.
