Rinaldo v. State
District Court of Appeal of Florida
1Per curiam
The court sua sponte redesignates the appeal of the denial of appellant’s pretrial motion to receive “unfettered assistance” of counsel while acting pro se as a petition for writ of certiorari and denies the same. See Logan v. State, 846 So.2d 472, 474-75 (Fla.2003) (recognizing a defendant has no constitutional right “to partially represent himself and, at the same time, be partially represented by counsel”); Brooks v. State, 703 So.2d 504, 505 (Fla. 1st DCA 1997) (noting defendant has no constitutional right to combine right of self-representation with right to assistance of counsel).
