THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE COURT on the “Motion to Conduct Inquiry of
Defendant Regarding Defense Counsel’s Conflict of Interest ...” (Document No. 276), filed August
1, 2005 by the United States with respect to Cortney Sirron Pfifer. In the Motion, the United States
asks the Court to conduct a hearing prior to the commencement of trial and/or change of plea in order
to assure that Mr. Pfifer is aware of allegations against his attorney of record, Kenneth Darty, and
his right to representation by conflict-free counsel. Because the Court has already scheduled an
inquiry into the status of counsel for August 11, 2005 at 9:30 A.M. in front of the Honorable
Carl Horn, II, the undersigned will deny the Motion as moot.

IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the “Motion to Conduct Inquiry of Defendant
Regarding Defense Counsel’s Conflict of Interest ...” (Document No. 276) is hereby DENIED AS

MOOT.
