UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff(s), v. CHANH TRINH, et al., Defendant(s).
ORDER
Presently before the court is defendant Chanh V. Trinh (“defendant”)'s motion for appointment of counsel. (ECF No. 122). Defendant's motion for compassionate release is also pending. (ECF No. 121).
On September 3, 2020, Chief Judge Miranda Du issued Amended General Order 202006, which appoints the Federal Public Defender's office (“FPD”) to represent defendants that file “a pro se section 3582(c)(1)(A) motion directly with this court pursuant to section 603(b) of the FIRST Step Act.” Amended General Order 2020-06. If FPD determines that the pro se motion needs no supplementation, it must file a notice stating so within seven days and notify the defendant. Id.
If the FPD has “a prohibitive conflict,” it must “file a motion requesting that CJA counsel be appointed according to the regular procedures of the District of Nevada for the appointment of counsel.” Id.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED that defendant's motion for appointment of counsel (ECF No. 122) is GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that FPD is appointed to assist defendant with moving for compassionate release consistent with Amended General Order 2020-06.
