The Court hereby appoints the Office of the Federal Public Defender for the Northern

eligible for sentence reductions pursuant to the decision of the United States Sentencing
Commission on June 30, 2011 to give retroactive applicability to crack cocaine sentencing
guideline amendments, specifically U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1 as amended, that the Commission
promulgated as a result of the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010. In the event private counsel
or previously appointed CJA counsel wish to enter an appearance on behalf of a particular
inmate, or the Court deems it more appropriate for prior counsel to represent the inmate,
the attorney will file a notice of appearance on behalf of the inmate, and the Federal Public
Defender will then seek to withdraw from the representation.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
