United States First Circuit

District court's refusal to grant defense counsel's motion to withdraw was correct, where acrimony between counsel and defendant did not jeopardize the effective performance of future legal services; court's statement, as to the public expense of appointing a new lawyer, did not evince impermissible discrimination on the basis of indigency.
