Thomas, Amon 2008-CR-0020-01 Order Regarding Defendant Amon Thomas’ Motion to Relinquish Counsel additional four (4) to six (6) months. The Court believes such a delay is not in the interests of all the Defendants as they remain in pre-trial detention. Attorney Moorhead has indicated that he is prepared for trial. Moreover, trial has been scheduled to go forward previously, most recently July 20, 2009, and no issues were brought to the Court’s attention prior to that date. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that Defendant Amon Thomas’ Motion to Relinquish Counsel (Docket No. 159) is DENIED. ENTER: Dated: August 4, 2009 /s/ George W. Cannon, Jr. GEORGE W. CANNON, JR.
