CRIMINAL ACTION NO. 03-702.

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

JOHN FULLAM, Senior District Judge

Defendant, through counsel, filed a motion to suppress. After a two-day hearing, the motion to suppress was denied on February 9, 2004, whereupon the defendant entered a plea of guilty. The sentencing is scheduled for May 11, 2004.

On March 5, 2004, defendant filed a letter which, in effect, is a pro se motion for reconsideration of the suppression denial. The letter does not, however, address the merits of the suppression ruling, nor does it advance any arguments pertinent to that ruling. It does disclose that the defendant has valid reasons for wishing to be out of jail. While defendant's situation is indeed regrettable, there is no lawful reason for reconsidering the suppression order. The motion must therefore be denied.

An Order follows.

ORDER

AND NOW, this ____ day of March 2004, upon consideration of defendant's pro se motion for reconsideration of this Court's February 9, 2004, denial of defendant's motion to suppress evidence, and the government's response, IT IS ORDERED that the defendant's motion for reconsideration is DENIED.
