ORDER

THIS MATTER is before the Court upon remand from the United States Court of
Appeals for the Fourth Circuit for a new trial. (Case No. 3:04-cr-271, Doc. No. 548: Opinion and
Judgment). With the issuance of the appellate court’s Mandate on May 3, 2016, this matter is
ripe for action.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the United States Marshal have the defendant
Nicholas Ragin (Reg. No. 19791-058) present in Charlotte, North Carolina forthwith, but not
later than May 31, 2016 at 9:30 A.M. for a status conference in a courtroom to be designated in
the Charles R. Jonas Federal Building. The case is set for trial during the June 6, 2016, term of
Court, rendering the defendant’s pro se Motion to Compel Trial, (Case No. 3:10-cv-488, Doc.
No. 60), MOOT.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the defendant’s pro se Motion for Bail Pending Trial,
(Case No. 3:04-cr-488, Doc. No. 549), is DENIED. The defendant has not presented evidence
of a material change in circumstances to justify alteration of the Order of Detention, (Case No.
3:04-cr-271, Doc. No. 21).

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the defendant’s pro se Motion to Appoint Counsel,
(Case No. 3:04-cr-488, Doc. No. 550), is GRANTED and the Federal Defenders of Western
North Carolina shall designate counsel promptly to represent the defendant for the remainder of
this case, unless he retains other counsel.
FINALLY, IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the defendant’s pro se Motion for
Transcripts at Government Expense, (Case No. 3:04-cr-488, Doc. No. 551), is MOOT.
Transcripts of prior proceedings are already part of the record, (see e.g., Case No. 3:04-cr-271,
Doc. Nos. 395-407), and will be available to appointed counsel for trial preparation.
The Clerk is directed to certify copies of this Order the defendant, defendant’s counsel,
the United States Attorney, the United States Marshals Service, the United States Probation
Office, and the Clerk of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
