BELL, Judge.
We granted certiorari in this case to consider the sufficiency of the trial court's inquiry into the petitioner's reasons for appearing at trial without counsel and, thus, the propriety of its finding that the petitioner waived his right to counsel by inaction. A divided panel of the Court of Special Appeals, in an unreported opinion, held that the inquiry was sufficient and, so, affirmed. We have concluded that it was not; hence, we shall reverse.
