Opinion
Criminal Case No. 07-20411
12-17-2012
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. ERNEST HAYES, Defendant.
HON. GEORGE CARAM STEEH
ORDER DENYING APPLICATION FOR APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL (Doc. # 232)
Defendant Hayes pleaded guilty to maintaining a drug establishment in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 856(a)(1) and was sentenced to 120 months imprisonment in 2009. Since then, Hayes has filed an unsuccessful 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion and several unsuccessful motions to reduce his sentence based on the amendments to the crack cocaine sentencing guidelines. In June 2012, the court prohibited Hayes from filing any further "motion or request for reduction in sentence based on the crack guideline amendment."
Hayes now requests the appointment of counsel, despite the above quoted order, and without any proceedings pending in this court. That request is, accordingly, DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
