1Opinion of the Court
CHASANOW, Judge.
In this appeal, we are called upon to decide whether a circuit court judge with exclusive original jurisdiction may determine that a defendant waived the right to counsel based on information provided to the defendant at his or her bail review hearing before a District Court judge. Specifically, we are being asked to determine whether waiver of counsel by inaction, as detailed in Maryland Rule 4-215(d), may occur in the absence of compliance with Md. Rule 4-215(a)(l)-(5). See Part H.B., infra, where the pertinent portions of Md. Rule 4-215 are provided.
