MEMORANDUM DECISION
JACOBSON, Presiding Judge.
These consolidated appeals raise one arguable issue: did the trial court deny defendant’s right to counsel by allowing defendant to represent himself at two jury trials? Because we find that defendant made a knowing, voluntary, and intelligent waiver of his right to counsel, we find no denial of his right to counsel. In addition, we have conducted an independent review of this matter and finding no fundamental error, we affirm the convictions and sentences.
