Q. Why do I continue to receive electronic notices of documents filed in cases where my obligation to represent the defendant has expired?
A. In this district, an attorney who represents a defendant in a criminal case is obligated to represent the defendant through the appeal stage of the case, if an appeal is filed. Upon disposition of the appeal, or expiration of the time for filing an appeal, any attorney who does not wish to receive future e-notices in a case, must file a motion to withdraw as counsel. Notices will be electronically transmitted until there is a court order allowing you to withdraw from the case.

Guilty Pleas
- Guilty Plea Order

- Guilty Plea Colloquy
- This is the standard guilty plea colloquy taken from the Judges' Bench Book. Lawyers may use this model to familiarize their clients with what to expect upon entry of a plea. An individual judge may vary the colloquy as required. The Bench Book has not been updated to conform to changes in the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. Thus, references to 11(e)(1)(A) or (C) sections should be understood as references to 11(c)(1)(A) or (C) sections.
