1Opinion of the Court

Blackburn, Judge.

Ralph Reviere appeals from his convictions of five counts of selling cocaine, asserting numerous errors. For the reasons discussed below, we affirm.

1. Reviere contends the trial court erred in allowing him to discharge his appointed counsel and proceed pro se, arguing that he did not validly waive the right to counsel. “In determining whether or not an accused has adequately waived his right to counsel and elected to exercise his constitutional right to represent himself, the courts will apply the standard set forth in Johnson v. Zerbst, 304 U. S. 458 (58 SC 1019, 82 LE 1461)…
