Respondent.
__________________________________________________________________/
ORDER IN RESPONSE TO REQUEST (ECF No. 470)
Petitioner Omar Pouncy has filed a Request in which he states that officials
with the Michigan Department of Corrections are preventing him from having access
to his attorney and that the restricted access is impacting his ability to prepare his
case on appeal. The Court directs Pouncy to have his attorney file a Notice with the
Court if counsel believes that access is, in fact, being impeded by the MDOC. If
counsel files such a Notice, the Court will review it.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
