Clerk, U.S. District Court, ILCD
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRIC COURT
CENTRAL DITRICT OF ILLINOIS
In Re: Continuity of Appointment No. 14 MC 1043
of Counsel for Proceedings under
Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure
Rule 35(b)
ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER
The Criminal Justice Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3006A(a)(2), and the “Amended CJA
Plan of the Central District of Illinois Pursuant to the Criminal Justice Act of
1964,” Am. CJA Plan § III(B) (December 12, 2003), provide for the discretionary
appointment of counsel for financially eligible persons when the Court
“determines that the interests of justice so require.” Pursuant to these provisions,
the Court routinely appoints counsel to assist defendants with post-sentencing
proceedings pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 35(b).
Henceforth, in a case where the Court appoints counsel pursuant to 18
U.S.C. § 3006A(a)(1), the appointment of counsel shall automatically continue
post-sentencing pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3006A(a)(2) solely for the purpose of
representing the defendant in proceedings related to Rule 35(b).
Counsel appointed under the Criminal Justice Act shall submit a voucher
upon the conclusion of their representation under 18 U.S.C. § 3006A(a)(1) and
submit a subsequent, separate voucher for representation related to Rule 35(b)
proceedings under 18 U.S.C. § 3006A(a)(2).
