Heading: Dallio Obtains New Counsel and Pleads Guilty

Text: 19 On June 27, 1995, even before the trial court ruled on his suppression motion, Dallio filed a motion for appointment of new counsel, which was granted by the court. 20 On November 13, 1995, Dallio's new counsel, Jonathan Latimer, advised the court that after extensive consultation, including discussions about the lost suppression motion and the admissibility of the inculpatory statements, Dallio wished to plead guilty. At no time during the allocution did counsel or Dallio (who addressed the court at length) challenge the suppression ruling or request a new hearing on the ground that Dallio had been permitted to proceed pro se without adequate warnings about the risks of self-representation. Neither was such a challenge raised at sentencing. 1
