2. “[THE COURT]: Now, do you want the Public Defender to represent you in this case or, and do you want to have, agree to a postponement beyond 180 days, as set forth in the rule, so you can have an attorney who can be well prepared to represent you, both at the hearing on the motion to suppress and on the trial of this case?

3. “"If no other counsel has entered an appearance for the defendant, leave to withdraw may be granted only by order of court.
