California Court of Appeal

Defendant's convictions for second degree burglary, making, passing, uttering, publishing or possessing a fraudulent check with intent to defraud, and possessing a completed check with the intent to utter and pass and facilitate the uttering and passing of it in order to defraud Vons, are affirmed, where: 1) the third charge was proper as evidence of that charge was presented at the preliminary hearing; 2) defendant failed to make the trial court aware that he wanted to represent himself; and 3) defendant was properly convicted of violating both Penal Code sections 475 and 476, where when a defendant, as here, is charged with violations of separate statutes, even if they constitute "different statements of the same offense," convictions of violating those separate statutes are proper.
