March 18, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 3 ORDER: A preliminary review of the short record suggests that this pro se appeal duplicates an appeal filed by former counsel for appellant on January 22, 2026, and docketed in this court as Appeal No. 26-1128. A party needs only one appeal from any given judgment or order, and the other should be dismissed. Grunt Style LLC v. TWD, LLC, 140 F.4th 839, 845 (7th Cir. 2025); Harris v. Bellin Meml Hosp., 13 F.3d 1082, 1083 (7th Cir. 1994). Accordingly, appellant shall file, on or before April 1, 2026, a brief memorandum stating why this appeal should not be dismissed as unnecessary. A motion for voluntary dismissal under Rule 42(b) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure will satisfy this requirement. Briefing is SUSPENDED pending further court order.

March 16, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 2 ORDER: Although the defendant was represented by counsel in the district court, the defendant (or the clerk of the district court on the defendants behalf) filed a notice of appeal pro se in this criminal action.

Further, counsel shall comply with the provisions of Fed. R. App. P. 10(b) regarding the preparation of the transcripts. Counsel must file, no later than March 24, 2026, a Status Report regarding their compliance with this order. Attorney Gregory T. Mitchell is advised that a copy of the Transcript Information Sheet submitted to the court reporter must be attached to the Status Report, signed by the court reporter and indicating the date the transcripts are expected to be completed.
