Opinion
Since defendant does not have a constitutional right to argue his own case pro se on appeal, Price v. Johnston, 334 U.S. 266, 285 (1948), and his court-appointed counsel fulfills his constitutional right of representation and court access on appeal, Bounds v. Smith, 430 U.S. 817, 830-31 (1977), the motion for reconsideration of defendant’s motion to proceed pro se and motion for court order to be housed within Vermont is denied.
