Actions on Applications for Leave to Appeal from the Court of Appeals.

Leave to Appeal Denied September 14, 2007:

MARKMAN, J. (dissenting).

I would grant leave to appeal to determine (1) whether a criminal defendant, by pleading no contest, waives the ability to challenge an alleged violation of his Sixth Amendment right of self-representation; (2) whether the right of self-representation extends to a plea hearing; and (3) whether a denial of the right of self-representation renders a subsequent plea involuntary as a matter of law.
