UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. JOHN BAKER, Defendant.
ORDER DENYING DEFENSE COUNSEL'S MOTION TO WITHDRAW AND
TERMINATING AS MOOT DEFENDANT'S "MOTION TO PRODUCE INFORMANT"
On September 19, 2011, defense counsel filed a motion to withdraw from representing Defendant in this matter. That same day, defense counsel also filed, on behalf of Defendant, a motion to compel the Government to produce its confidential informant. The court discussed the motions at a hearing on September 20, 2011, during which the court denied the motion to withdraw and ultimately accepted Defendant's guilty plea. Accordingly, for the reasons articulated on the record at the September 20, 2011 hearing,
IT IS ORDERED that defense counsel's motion to withdraw [Dkt. # 35] is DENIED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant's "Motion to Produce Informant" [Dkt. # 34] is TERMINATED AS MOOT.
