Opinion
Case No. 8:06-cr-26-T-26TBM.
March 20, 2006
AMENDED ORDER APPOINTING CJA COUNSEL
The defendant, William Allen Broughton, having appeared before the undersigned for a hearing with respect to appointment of counsel, and the court having found that although the Defendant may be financially able to obtain adequate representation within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. § 3006A, he is presently unable to retain counsel and the court has appointed Bruce Howie to represent the Defendant in this case. It is further found that since the Defendant is not per se indigent and he has certain financial resources available to him, the undersigned finds that it is in the interests of justice to require the Defendant to contribute toward the cost of his/her court-appointed counsel pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3006A(f).
It is, therefore,
ORDERED:
(1) that beginning on March 1, 2006, and by the first business day of each month thereafter and during the pendency of this action, the Defendant shall deposit the sum of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) (cash, money order, or cashier's check made payable to: Clerk, U.S. District Court) to be credited to the Defender Services appropriation for the fiscal year in which the payment is received. 18 U.S.C. § 3006A(f);
Mailed payments should reflect the Case Number and be sent to the Clerk at the United States Courthouse, 801 North Florida Avenue, Tampa, Florida 33602.
(2) in the event that the total cost of court appointed counsel is less than the amount deposited by the Defendant, the Clerk of Court shall refund the balance of the deposit to the Defendant.
Done and Ordered.
