UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA 
ORLANDO DIVISION 
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 
VS. 
CASE NO: 6:21-cr-141-RBD-UAM 
EMMET BOWENS 
ORDER 
This cause came on for hearing on the following motion filed herein: 
MOTION: 
MOTION to Withdraw as Attorney of Record (Doc. 121 and 122);  
AMENDED MOTION to Withdraw as Attorney of Record (Doc. 123) 
FILED: 
March 13, 2025, and March 15, 2025. 
THEREON it is ORDERED as follows: 
Although the Court had hoped to resolve the issues of counsel for the Defendant without 
delay, it appears infeasible to conduct an appropriate hearing without potential disruption of 
Defendant’s travel pursuant to the Court’s December 26, 2024, Order [Doc. 116]. Because no 
substantive proceedings are contemplated pending a report from the medical team at the Bureau 
of Prisons, the pending motions to withdraw as counsel [Docs. 121,122, 123] are DENIED 
without prejudice. The hearing is CANCELLED, and the motion to appear telephonically 
[Doc. 128] is DENIED as moot. 
DONE and ORDERED in Orlando, Florida on March 27, 2025.
