In People v. Trapps (1984) 158 Cal.App.3d 265, the trial court denied the defendant's request to continue his sentencing hearing to obtain new counsel, causing the defendant to be sentenced while represented by counsel with whom he claimed to have a conflict. The Trapps court concluded that the trial court abused its discretion in denying the continuance, emphasizing that the trial court's action deprived the defendant of counsel of his choice for no good reason.
