(MOATT) [04-30115] (CP) [Entered: 07/26/2004 03:36 PM] 08/11/2004 11 Filed order (Johnnie B. RAWLINSON, CONSUELO M. CALLAHAN) A review of the record indicates that the notice of appeal in this case ws timely filed. The 7/9/04 order to show cuse is therefore discharged. To the extend appellant has moved to have the panel recuse itself from consideration of this appeal, that request is denied. To the extend appellant has moved for appt. of counsel in this appeal. that request is denied because he is not entitled to appt of counsel and this appeal does not present exceptional circumstances warranting the appt of counsel. (see casefile for citations). No motions for recon , clarification, modification of the denial of appt. of counsel shall be filed or entertained. The court's records reflect that this case may be appropriate for summary disposition because appellant is no longer entitled to appt of counsel. Within 21 days, appellant shall show cause why the DC's order allowing counsel to withdraw shall not be summarily affirmed. If appellant does not comply with this order, this appeal will be automatically dismissed for failure to prosecute. Briefing remains suspended pending further order of this court.
