Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York December 27, 2012 (People v. Peterson)

*642The record, taken as a whole (see People v Providence, 2 NY3d 579, 583 [2004]), demonstrates that defendant made a knowing and intelligent waiver of his right to counsel. The court conducted a thorough inquiry, in which it fully warned defendant of the risks of self-representation (see e.g. People v Peterson, 273 AD2d 88, 89 [2000] [same defendant]).
