ORDER

J. RANDAL HALL, District Judge.

This cause comes before the Court on its own initiative. In April 2014, Defendant Ingram was indicted for possession with the intent to distribute controlled substances. (Doc. 1.) Defendant eventually pleaded guilty, and the Court entered judgment against him on April 16, 2015. (Doc. 50; Doc. 67.) Prior to entering his guilty plea, Defendant retained Mr. Martin Puetz as counsel, and Mr. Puetz is still listed as counsel of record. Defendant, however, has filed multiple motions and requests since his judgment, and Mr. Puetz has not signed any of these filings. Defendant's post-judgment filings include a notice of appeal (Doc. 68), a request for court-appointed counsel (Doc. 69),1 a request to proceed in forma pauperis (Doc. 75), and a "Motion to Reinstate Appeal." (Doc. 77.)

When Mr. Puetz notified the Court that he would be representing Defendant, he received a notice from the Court regarding the representation. (Doc. 6.) That notice informed Mr. Puetz: (1) that the Court expected Mr. Puetz to "represent the defendant until the conclusion of the case"; (2) that "a convicted defendant's case is not concluded until his direct appeal is decided"; and (3) that his "withdrawal from a pending case must be approved" by the Court. (Id.) Mr. Puetz does not appear to be assisting Defendant in his appeal, but he has not moved to withdraw as counsel of record. Accordingly, the Court ORDERS Mr. Puetz to provide the following information by 5:00 p.m. on October 28, 2015:
