CR15-160 TSZ

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. RAYMOND EARL DEVORE, Defendant.
MINUTE ORDER
The following Minute Order is made by direction of the Court, the Honorable Thomas S. Zilly, United States District Judge:
(1) Defendant has filed a letter, docket no. 270, seeking “any and all information . . . that will help . . . [him in] obtaining an attorney and court hearings for [his] compassionate release request.” The Clerk has docketed this letter as a motion to appoint counsel, but defendant has a lawyer; he is currently represented by Timothy Lohraff. Thus, the Court interprets the letter as merely asking for “required forms,” see Letter at 1 (docket no. 270), and advises defendant that no specific form exists for a compassionate release request.
(2) The Clerk is DIRECTED to revise the docket to recharacterize defendant's filing, docket no. 270, as a letter requesting forms, not a motion to appoint counsel, and to send a copy of this Minute Order to all counsel of record and to defendant at the address provided on his letter.
