The question is not worded clearly. If the questioner already HAS counsel and wishes to discharge/fire them, all he has to do is either do it in open court while on the record, or file a motion with the court notifying the judge that they are proceeding pro se. If, right from the outset, they are not engaging counsel, that fact will be included in the information with the court filings for the case. The judge will probably strongly counsel you to retain counsel, but you DO have the right to represent yourself if you wish. Please remember the old lawyer adage: "The man who represents himself, has a fool for a client."
