Schumacher’s appointed counsel has moved for leave to withdraw and filed a
brief stating that this court previously adjudicated an appeal from the criminal
judgment. In a pro se brief, Schumacher requests that plea counsel provide him his
client file.
This court affirmed the appeal of Schumacher’s conviction and his criminal
case was closed. United States v. Schumacher, 772 Fed. Appx. 412 (8th Cir. 2019).
The district court lacked jurisdiction to consider his motion to compel because there
was no case pending, and the motion should have been dismissed. See United States
v. Gleason, 753 F.2d 83, 85 (8th Cir. 1985); United States v. Woods, No. 15-3304,
2016 WL 3457754, at *3 (10th Cir. 2016).
The district court’s order is vacated, and the case remanded for dismissal of
the motion. Counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted.
