Description
Defendant moves for the dismissal of his counsel, for the appointment of new counsel and for a corresponding continuance of his case. He further, in violation of the Court's Criminal Justice Plan, designates the new counsel he would like to have. Present counsel represented defendant throughout trial, and it is significant that defendant specifically requested this court to designate him to conduct the appeal. Defendant's new-found dissatisfaction with counsel apparently stems from the fact that counsel has not entered into correspondence with him as to the points to be raised on appeal -- a matter as to which defendant believes he has expertness. At the same time defendant is not now beyond criticizing counsel's alleged improper conduct of the trial. No valid cause appears, however, for criticism of either present or past conduct of counsel. Defendant, who is incarcerated outside this circuit, would like to be brought to court so that he could testify orally on the subject.
