ORDER DENYING REQUEST FOR APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL (ECF No. 59)
MATTHEW F. LEITMAN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Defendant Scott Northy has filed a request for the appointment of counsel. (See Mot., ECF No. 59.) Northy seeks counsel to assist him in preparing a motion for compassionate release. According to the Bureau of Prison's records, Northy is scheduled to be released in early January, 2023. Given his fast-approaching release date, the Court DENIES his request for the appointment of counsel. Northy will be released before briefing could reasonably be completed, and a decision rendered, on any motion for compassionate release.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
