UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. DAVID ANTHONY ROMANNOSE, Defendant.
OPINION AND ORDER
JOHN F. HEIL, III, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Before the Court are: (1) a motion to file an oversized brief [Dkt. No. 96]; (2) a motion to acquit [Dkt. No. 97]; and (3) a motion for hearing and oral argument [Dkt. No. 101] (“Motions”) filed by Defendant David Anthony Romannose (“Defendant”).
The Motions are drafted and signed by Defendant. However, the Court notes that Defendant is represented by counsel who has not signed the Motions. See Dkt. No. 102; Dkt. No. 103 (Ryan A. Ray 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 possible motions signed by counsel.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Defendant's (1) motion to file an oversized brief [Dkt. No. 96]; (2) motion to acquit [Dkt. No. 97]; and (3) motion for hearing and oral argument [Dkt. No. 101] are DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
