CASE NO. 21-20242-CR-ALTONAGA
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
vs.
JOSEPH TIMOTHY GRENON,
Defendant.
_______________________________/
ORDER
THIS CAUSE came before the Court on January 5, 2022 for a status conference. At the
hearing, the Court addressed Defendant, Joseph Timothy Grenon’s rejection of court-appointed
counsel and his intention to represent himself. Defendant was placed under oath and advised he
wishes to proceed pro se. After a thorough Faretta inquiry, and despite the undersigned’s findings
that Defendant does not have the skill or training necessary to represent himself, the Court
concludes Defendant’s request to represent himself is knowing and voluntary.
Accordingly, it is
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Defendant’s request to represent himself is
GRANTED. Nevertheless, Paul Donnelly is appointed as stand-by counsel for Defendant,
Joseph Timothy Grenon, to provide him with assistance as requested by Defendant.
DONE AND ORDERED in Miami, Florida, this 5th day of January, 2022.
