OPINION & ORDER [Resolving Doc. 33]

On March 23, 2016, this Court issued an opinion and order denying Deion Thompson's motion for appointment of counsel. Upon reconsideration, this Court reverses its prior order and GRANTS Thompson's motion for appointment of counsel.

I. Discussion

This Court based its March 23, 2016 decision on the controlled substance offense listed on Thompson's PSR: Drug Possession (F-2) in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court in Case # CR-05-461329.

Because it is unclear whether this Drug Possession felony controlled substance convictions involved the intent to "manufacture, import, export, distribute, or dispense" as required under USSG §4B1.2(b)'s definition of a controlled substance offense, this Court will GRANT the motion to appoint counsel.

II. Conclusion

For the reasons above, this Court GRANTS Defendant's motion seeking the appointment of counsel.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
