State v. Holloman, 231 N.C.App. 426, 751 S.E.2d 638 (Dec. 17, 2013)
The trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying an indigent defendant’s request for substitute counsel. The court rejected the defendant’s argument that the trial court erred by failing to inquire into a potential conflict of interest between the defendant and counsel, noting that the defendant never asserted a conflict, only that he was unhappy with counsel’s performance.
