Maurice Fayne, No. 1:20-cr-00228, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, dated August 10, 2020 and filed as Document 57.

The order explains that, given his status as a pro se defendant, a status conference is needed to discuss discovery, whether to appoint standby counsel and his recent change of mailing address to Oklahoma, outside the district. It directs the Clerk to mail the order to him by certified mail.
