USA v. Addison et al

1
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
WESTERN DISTRICT OF NORTH CAROLINA
CHARLOTTE DIVISION
DOCKET NO. 3:17-cr-00134-FDW-DSC
THIS MATTER is before the Court on Defendant’s pro se Motion for Compassionate
Release (Doc. No. 3063) and Motion for Appointment of Counsel (Doc. No. 3064).
The Court hereby ORDERS the Government to respond to Defendant’s motions. The
Government shall have sixty (60) days from the date of this Order to file its response with the
Court. The Government shall advise the United States Probation Office if the Government
believes a supplemental Presentence Investigation Report will be required.
With respect to the Motion to Appoint Counsel (Doc. No. 3064), criminal defendants have
no right to counsel beyond their first appeal. E.g., United States v. Kenny, No. 3:01-cr-00185-
FDW, 2020 WL 2094116, at *1 (W.D.N.C. Apr. 30, 2020); United States v. Ismel, No. 3:94-CR-
00008-1, 2012 WL 113392, at *1 (W.D. Va. Jan. 13, 2012). Defendant has not shown
extraordinary circumstances warranting the appointment of counsel at this time. The included
Motion to appoint counsel (Doc. No. 3064) is therefore DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
