USA v. Dowtin et al

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO
WESTERN DIVISION
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
V.
CHRISTOPHER DOWTIN &
BONDARY MCCALL,
Defendants,
Case No. 3:25-CR-80
JUDGE WALTER H. RICE
ENTRY RECOGNIZING DEFENDANT MCCALL'S SPECIAL EQUITY
RECORD (DOC. #114); OVERRULING MOTION TO STRIKE
AFFIDAVIT OF NON-CONSENTTO REPRESENTATIVE (DOC. #115)
On February 18, 2026, Defendant McCall filed a "Special Equity Record. " Doc.
#114. Given that the stated purpose of the filing is to preserve the record, and given
that McCall does not ask the Court to take any action in response to the filing, the
Court will not take any action. Nevertheless, the Court recognizes that McCall has
filed the document and that it is now oart of the official record in this case.
McCall also filed a Motion to Strike Affidavit of Non-Consent to Representa-
tive. Doc. #115. From this motion, the Court surmises that he wishes to strike the
filing docketed at Doc. #101. However, because he has not provided any reason or
rationale for striking said document, and because, at this point, he still intends to
represent himself at trial, the Court OVERRULES this request.
