UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. BENJAMIN FIGUEROA, Defendant.
ORDER
JESSE M. FURMAN, United States District Judge:
The Court has received yet another letter from Defendant, postmarked December 13, 2022, a copy of which is attached. As the Court has now noted twice, see ECF Nos. 83, 84, the Court only has authority to appoint counsel for someone who “is seeking relief” under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. 18 U.S.C. § 3006A(a)(2)(B). As Defendant has not yet filed a motion under Section 2255, any request for counsel is DENIED as premature and without prejudice. Unless and until Defendant files a motion under Section 2255, future requests for the appointment of counsel will be disregarded.
The Clerk of Court is directed to mail this Order to:
Benjamin Figueroa
Register No. 73822-053 FCI Gilmer
Federal Correctional Institution
P.O. BOX 6000
Glenville, WV 26351
SO ORDERED.
