Question Presented (AI Summary)

Did the trial court violate Petitioner's rights under the Sixth Amendment as set forth in Faretta v. California, 422 U.S. 806 (1975) when it told Petitioner that he would not be allowed to represent himself again if he decided to proceed with counsel and forced the appointment of counsel against Petitioner's will?
