UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. ROBERT PONTE
ORDER RE APPOINTMENT OF CJA COUNSEL
On May 31, 2007 the Court appointed Jodi Zils Gagne as CJA counsel for the defendant, Robert Ponte. Counsel has now moved to appoint additional counsel to assist her in this complex case. Because the Court finds that this is a difficult case in which it is necessary and in the interest of justice to appoint an additional attorney, the motion [doc. # 165] is GRANTED.
The Court appoints attorney Charles Wilson to serve in addition to attorney Zils Gagne.
Both counsel shall contact Jerry Trtz, CJA Case-Budgeting Attorney for the Second Circuit and formulate a case budget.
