Joseph Timothy Grenon, case 1:21-cr-20242, Document 50, entered December 29, 2021, authorizing the defendant to represent himself.

                        ORDER AUTHORIZING DEFENDANT
                            TO REPRESENT HIMSELF

        THIS CAUSE came before the Court for a hearing on December 29, 2021 to

  address Defendant, Joseph Timothy Grenon’s rejection of court-appointed counsel and his

  expressed intention to represent himself. At the hearing, Defendant was placed under oath

  and advised he wishes to proceed pro se. After a thorough Faretta inquiry, and despite the

  undersigned’s findings that Defendant does not have the skill or training to represent

  himself, and that it is inadvisable that Defendant represent himself, the Court concludes

  Defendant’s request to represent himself is knowing, intelligent and voluntary.

  Accordingly, the Court GRANTS Defendant’s request to represent himself in this

  proceeding.
