                          Originating Case No.: 2:18-cr-00025-1

 Dear Counsel,

    This appeal has been docketed as case number 23-5143 with the caption that is enclosed on a
 separate page.

     Even if the defendant filed the notice of appeal, Sixth Circuit Rule 12(c)(1) requires that
 counsel continue representation on appeal until specifically relieved by this Court. If a convicted
 defendant did not qualify to proceed in forma pauperis in the district court but appears to qualify
 on appeal, Sixth Circuit Rule 24 requires that "trial counsel must see that the defendant
 completes CJA Form 23 (for an incarcerated defendant) or Fed. R. App. P. Form 4 (for a
 defendant not incarcerated) and files it in the district court." Counsel's failure to act in this
 situation may result in adverse action from this court.

    As defendant's trial counsel, your appointment under the Criminal Justice Act is extended
 automatically pursuant to Sixth Circuit Rule 12(c)(2). This letter serves as your authorization
 to order any transcript which you deem necessary for the appeal.

    Before preparing any documents to be filed, counsel are strongly encouraged to read the Sixth
 Circuit Rules at www.ca6.uscourts.gov. If you have not established a PACER account and
 registered with this court as an ECF filer, you should do so immediately. Your password for
 district court filings will not work in the appellate ECF system.

     At this stage of the appeal, the following forms should be downloaded from the website and
 filed with the Clerk's office by March 3, 2023. Additionally, the transcript order must be
 completed by that date. For further information and instructions on ordering transcript
 electronically, please visit the court's website.

 for assistance.
