P. v. Stopani
This appeal raises two questions: Did the trial court fail to make an adequate inquiry concerning a complaint about the performance of appointed defense counsel by defendant and appellant Jorge Stopani? We conclude the court fully discharged its duty under People v. Marsden (1970) 2 Cal.3d 118. Second, did the court abuse its discretion in denying a defense motion for continuance, made on the first day of trial, to permit counsel to file a discovery motion under Pitchess v. Superior Court (1974) 11 Cal.3d 531? We conclude the court did not abuse its discretion. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment.
