Opinion

STRANKMAN, J.

Appellant Terrance L. Kenner was convicted by a jury of possession for sale of cocaine base, in violation of Health and Safety *58Code section 11351.5. Appellant contends that the judgment must be reversed because the trial court inadvertently failed to hold a hearing on his timely motion under Faretta v. California (1975) 422 U.S. 806 [45 L.Ed.2d 562, 95 S.Ct. 2525] to represent himself. We conclude that reversal is not required because appellant’s postmotion conduct establishes that he abandoned his request for a Faretta hearing. We affirm the judgment.1
