Opinion
Case No. 2:11-cr-00064-APG-CWH
05-08-2013
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. DAVID DAMANTE, Defendant.
ORDER
On May 8, 2013, the court received a letter from Defendant David Damante. The court will not take any action on this letter, as the appropriate means to communicate with the court is by motion filed on the docket rather than by ex parte communication. See Local Criminal Rule 47-3. In addition, the letter does not satisfy the requirements for ex parte motions. See Local Criminal Rule 47-2. Accordingly, the court has forwarded the letter to Mr. Damante's counsel— Mr. Richard F. Boulware, of the Federal Public Defender in Las Vegas—to take whatever action Mr. Boulware deems appropriate.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
