UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. MAMDOUH MAHMUD SALIM, Defendant.
ORDER
MARY KAY VYSKOCIL, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE.
By letter dated November 22, 2021, Defendant Mamdouh Mahmud Salim moved this Court to appoint him counsel. [ECF No. 149]. Defendant stated that counsel was necessary because the Court had not yet ruled on Defendant's request to reduce his sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) [ECF No. 137], and an “attorney would be the right person to follow up [on] this matter.” [ECF No. 149 at 3].
Shortly after receiving the letter on December 1, 2021, the Court denied the motion for a sentence reduction, and otherwise transferred this case to the Second Circuit as a request for a successive habeas petition. [ECF No. 150]. Because the Court has ruled on the motion with respect to which Defendant requested counsel, the Court denies Defendant's request as moot.
SO ORDERED. 1
