USA v. Ramos

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
vs.
JAIME RAMOS,
Defendant.
4:17CR3070
ORDER
This matter is before the Court on defendant Jaime Ramos’ Motion for Appointment of
Counsel. (Filing No. 84). The Court previously granted Ramos leave to proceed in forma pauperis
on his appeal of its order denying his motion for compassionate release. (Filing No. 76). Pursuant
to the Criminal Justice Act, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit appointed
Adam J. Sipple to represent Ramos. (Filing No. 79). Ramos voluntarily dismissed his appeal
(Filing No. 82) and intends to file a new motion for compassionate release. (Filing No. 84 at 2).
The Court finds that Ramos is eligible for appointment of counsel pursuant to the Criminal
Justice Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3006A, and Amended Criminal Justice Act Plan for the District of
Nebraska. The Court further finds that Mr. Sipple should be appointed for the purposes of
presenting a new motion for compassionate release and to maintain continuity of counsel.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED:
1. Defendant Jaime Ramos’ Motion for Appointment of Counsel (Filing No. 84) is
granted.
