USA v. Farris

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF NORTH CAROLINA
CHARLOTTE DIVISION
3:18-CR-00099-RJC-DCK
THIS MATTER is before the Court on the defendant’s pro se Motion for
Reconsideration, (Doc. No. 154), challenging a prior ruling that he had not shown
trial counsel retained material about his case, (Doc. No. 148).
In a prior motion, the defendant stated to this Court that trial counsel
Miranda J. Mills advised him in August 2019 that she sent her case files to the
defendant’s sentencing attorney, Roderick Davis. (Doc. No. 140: Motion at 2). In
support of the instant motion, the defendant references his own letter to Ms. Mills
reporting that Mr. Davis told him that that she did not forward any case files. (Doc.
No. 154: Motion at 1). The Court finds that the defendant’s divergent hearsay
statements do not establish grounds to reconsider its prior ruling because he has
still not shown that Ms. Mills retained material about his case.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the Motion to Reconsider, (Doc. No.
154), is DENIED.
