  • If at any stage of the proceedings, including [an] appeal, a public attorney or the indigent whom he represents so requests, the court immediately concerned, in its discretion, may assign a substitute public attorney. A person who is so assigned has the same functions with respect to the indigent as the public attorney for whom he is substituted.
