REQUEST FOR PERMISSION TO HAVE
SUBSTITUTE COUNSEL APPEAR AT
SENTENCING; ORDER
Counsel for defendant Marcel Alley respectfully requests that the Court grant permission to have an attorney other than Mary McNamara, Mr. Alley's appointed counsel under the Criminal Justice Act, represent him at sentencing in this matter. Due to a family medical emergency, Ms. McNamara has had to travel out of the country and will not return in time for Mr. Alley's sentencing. At present, Ms. McNamara is not able to predict when she will return to the district. Counsel thus respectfully requests that the Court permit August Gugelmann of Swanson & McNamara LLP to appear on Mr. Alley's behalf at sentencing. Mr. Gugelmann is familiar with Mr. Alley's case, and Mr. Alley has no objection to Mr. Gugelmann appearing at sentencing. The government does not object to this request.
Respectfully submitted
