No. 94-1797.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
March 1, 1995.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and Paulette R. Taylor, Asst. Atty. Gen., for ap-pellee.
Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and NESBITT and GREEN, JJ.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Because the "record affirmatively shows that defendant was literate, competent, and understanding, that he was voluntarily exercising his informed free will, and that the court made it explicitly clear that it thought defendant was making a mistake in refusing to accept the appointment of counsel," Jones v. State, 449 So.2d 253, 257 (Fla.1984), cert. denied, 469 U.S. 893, 105 S.Ct. 269, 83 L.Ed.2d 205 (1984), we reject the appellant's contention that the trial court's Faretta inquiry was reversibly insufficient.
Affirmed.
