Date Filed Document Text
October 28, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 15 ORDER: The district court granted Justin Wadsworth a certificate of appealability to challenge the denial of his motion under 28 U.S.C. 2255. Wadsworth has moved for appointment of counsel on appeal. After reviewing the district courts order and the record, we conclude that counsel would aid our review of the appeal. Petitioner-appellants request for counsel is GRANTED. An order designating counsel and setting a briefing schedule will follow. Counsel must promptly evaluate the certificate of appealability; and, within 30 days of being appointed, counsel must move to vacate the certificate of appealability if counsel concludes it was improvidently granted. See Lavin v. Rednour, 641 F.3d 830, 83233 (7th Cir. 2011). Counsel may also consider moving to clarify or expand the certificate if appropriate.

October 9, 2024 Filing 7 Filed District Court order dated 10/08/2024. Wadsworth has filed a motion requesting counsel. He claims that his previously recruited attorney does not practice appellate work; however, he did file a notice of appeal on Wadsworth's behalf. Wadsworth has asked for the Court to appoint him new counsel. As Wadsworth's case is on appeal, this Court no longer has jurisdiction. Wadsworth's motion and all future filings and motions should be filed in his appellate case until his appeal is decided. Accordingly, the Court DEFERS ruling on his motion. Furthermore, the Court ORDERS the Clerk of Court to FORWARD this motion to the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit and TERMINATE the motion in this case.
