ORDER
CHERYL R. ZWART, Magistrate Judge.
This matter comes before the court on defense counsel's motion to withdraw. (Filing No. 29). Counsel states the defendant has terminated her services. New counsel has not entered an appearance on Defendant's behalf, and there is nothing of record indicating whether Defendant has hired new counsel, is requesting appointed counsel, or intends to appear pro se.
If Defendant is requesting appointed counsel, the court is not currently in a position to do so. The court does not have a financial affidavit of record for Defendant, and based on the information available to the court at this time, does not know whether Defendant lacks sufficient assets to afford counsel.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED:
1) If Defendant is requesting appointed counsel, he shall complete a CJA23 financial affidavit, a copy of which is attached, and send it by mail, email (zwart@ned.uscourts.gov), or facsimile ((402) 437-1675), to the chambers of the undersigned magistrate judge. Upon receipt of Defendant's financial affidavit, the court will consider the motion for appointed counsel.
2) If Defendant is not requesting appointed counsel, his current counsel, Ms. Mora James, shall promptly contact my courtroom deputy to set the hearing on counsel's motion to withdraw.
3) Ms. Mora James remains counsel for Defendant pending further order of the court.
