THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE COURT upon the receipt of a letter from Anthony
Michael Brown, dated August 29, 2005 (the “Letter”). In the Letter, Mr. Brown seeks to withdraw1
his plea agreement.
The record reflects that Mr. Brown is represented by appointed counsel, R. Locke Bell. It
is the practice of this Court, when a defendant is represented by counsel, to rule on motions filed
only by counsel of record. Therefore, if Mr. Brown has any matters he wishes this Court to consider,
they must be submitted through his attorney. The Court notes Mr. Brown’s contentions that Mr. Bell
failed to inform him of certain things. As such, the Court will schedule an inquiry into the status of
counsel.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that Mr. Brown’s request is DENIED without prejudice
to Mr. Brown’s right to re-file the motions, if appropriate, through his attorney.
The Clerk of Court is directed to send a copy of the Letter to Mr. Bell along with his copy
of this Order.
