Criminal No. 04-176.
April 14, 2006
Brendan T. Conway, Esq., 400 United States Courthouse, Pittsburgh, PA, Assistant U.S. Attorney.
ORDER
Pending before the Court is a pleading entitled "Ex Parte Motion for Docket Entries and Exhibits," Docket No. 407, filed by Defendant Frederick H. Banks on April 10, 2006. In the motion, Defendant alleges that the U.S. Marshal Services did not allow him to take his case files with him when he was transferred out of Allegheny County Jail "and simply refused to mail out Banks' files." Id. at 1.
Defendant's stand-by counsel, David B. Chontos, Esq., is hereby directed to attempt to retrieve the legal files from the Allegheny County Jail, mail any files thus recovered to Defendant, and advise the Court of the results of his efforts by letter within ten (10) days of the date of this Order.
And now, this 13th day of April, 2006, Defendant's motion filed at Docket No. 407 is denied without prejudice to Defendant's right to re-petition the Court on this matter after Mr. Chontos has attempted to assist him in recovering his files.
