IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS
JOHN E. ARNOLD,
Petitioner,
v.

No. 3:15-cv-00881-DRH

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Respondent.
ORDER
HERNDON, District Judge:
This matter comes before the Court for case management. In accordance
with this District’s Administrative Order No. 176, the Court referred the abovestyled case to the Federal Public Defender (“FPD”) (Doc. 5). In October 2015, the
FPD’s Office entered its appearance for petitioner (Doc. 6). Now the Assistant
FPD—having determined there is no meritorious basis for obtaining relief
petitioner seeks—has moved to withdraw his appearance (Doc. 13).
Pursuant to district-wide procedure, petitioner is ALLOWED thirty (30)
days or until July 1, 2017 to file a response to counsel’s motion to withdraw.
Petitioner’s failure to act will be interpreted as implied consent; as failure to
respond within the 30-day time period will result in the grant of the motion to
withdraw.
The Court DIRECTS the Clerk to provide petitioner with a copy of the
motion to withdraw as counsel (Doc. 13), and of this order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Signed this 28th day of May, 2017.
