Paul Hopkins appeals his conviction for extortion, challenging (1) his trial attorney’s failure to request a jury instruction defining the “threat” required for extortion and (2) the district court’s colloquy to establish whether his post-trial waiver of his right to counsel was knowing, voluntary, and intelligent. OPINION HOLDS: We affirm the jury’s finding of guilt. We affirm the jury’s finding of guilt, which was obtained with counsel. We reverse the uncounseled post-trial proceedings and remand for post-trial proceedings with the benefit of counsel or a knowing, intelligent and voluntary waiver of counsel.
