He also states he is being held without being offered "any form of rehabilitation.". The Government has not responded to this motion. United States District Judge Harry F. Barnes referred the instant motion to the undersigned.

On April 28, 2015, Mr. Craig L. Henry was appointed by the Court to represent Defendant in this matter. ECF No. 22. Mr. Henry continues to represent Defendant.

United States, 240 F.3d 683, 686 (8th Cir.2001). Accordingly, this Court declines to entertain this pro se motion.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED, Defendant's pro se Motion to Reinstate Bond (ECF No. 23) is DENIED.
