Matthew Dusek, 	) 	Case No. 1:21-cr-145
)
Defendant. 	)
Defendant made his initial appearance in this case and was arraigned on August 9, 2021. (Doc.
No. 6). The court provisionally appointed the Federal Public Defender’s Office to represent defendant
and directed defendant to provide additional information regarding his finances to assist it in
determining whether he qualified for court-appointed counsel. (Doc. Nos. 6, 7).
Upon reviewing additional financial information provided by defendant, the court concluded
that he did not qualify for court-appointed counsel. Consequently, on August 12, 2021, the court
issued an order that (1) continued the Federal Public Defender Office’s appointment until defendant
retained counsel, and (2) required defendant make monthly payments in the interim to the Clerk’s
office to cover the cost of his defense. (Doc. No. 19).
On August 27, 2021, defendant filed a notice of substitution of counsel in which he advised
that he has retained counsel. 	(Doc. No. 20). 	Because defendant has retained counsel, the court
VACATES its order of August 12, 2021 (Doc. No. 19) that required defendant to make monthly
payments to the Clerk’s office to cover the cost of his defense.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated this 30th day of August, 2021.
