Opinion

PERREN, J.

Clarence Hannibal appeals from an order committing him to the Department of Mental Health for treatment as a mentally disordered offender (MDO). (Pen. Code, § 2960 et seq.) He contends (1) the trial court abused its discretion in denying his request for self-representation; (2) the relitigation of his mental state at the time of his controlling offense, which was at issue in a prior MDO proceeding, was barred by principles of res judicata and collateral estoppel; and (3) the evidence was insufficient to support the finding that he qualified as an MDO. We affirm.
