UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. THOMAS RAYMOND PHILLIPS, III, Defendant.
OPINION AND ORDER
JOHN F. HEIL, III UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Before the Court is a motion for hearing and motion to dismiss or motion for judgment of acquittal (“Motion”) filed by Defendant Thomas Raymond Phillips, III (“Defendant”). Dkt. No. 274.
The Motion is drafted and signed by Defendant. However, the Court notes that Defendant is represented by counsel who has not signed the Motion. See Dkt. No. 269; Dkt. No. 272 (Gabrielle Kolencik appointed as Defendant's counsel). The Court need not consider a pro se filing when a defendant is represented by counsel who has not signed the document. See, e.g., United States v. Sandoval-De Lao, 283 Fed.Appx. 621, 625 (10th Cir. 2008). This Order will be sent to counsel of record so that Defendant and his counsel may confer regarding a possible motion signed by counsel.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Defendant's motion for hearing and motion to dismiss or motion for judgment of acquittal [Dkt. No. 274] is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
