If a judge denies a defendant his own lawyer because he is satisfied with his court appointed lawyer is that grounds for an appeal?
The answer to your question, in short, is yes..with one condition. If the judge could demonstrate that the defendant was mentally incompetent, then he/she could intervene and override the defendant's right to choice of counsel, providing it was in the best interest of the defendant to do so. However, I am quite sure that the judge presiding over this case would have had to have made this finding, if indeed there was one, clear to both parties in the case.

That can only be answered by the presiding judge in the case. The defendant's attorney would have to ask the judge's permission for the defendant's absence. As a practical matter, this is likely only to be granted during pre-trial proceedings. For the trial, the defendant is required to be present.
