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 Renewed
Motion for a New Trial pursuant to Rule 33. (Doc. No. 112).
The defendant alleges his appointed trial counsel was constitutionally
ineffective. However, he is currently represented by a different appointed lawyer.
(Termination and Appointment of Counsel Oral Order, June 28, 2019). The
defendant recently informed a magistrate judge that he did not wish to represent
himself and affirmed his desire to be represented by counsel. (Inquiry into the
Status of Counsel, Jan. 21, 2020). Local Criminal Rule 47.1(g) requires motions to
be filed by counsel unless a defendant has formally waived his right to counsel
before a judicial officer.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED, that the defendant’s pro se motion is
DISMISSED.
The Clerk is directed to certify copies of this order to the defendant, counsel
for the defendant, and to the United States Attorney.
