7th Circuit Court of Appeals
United States of America v. Lorenzo Johnson
21-3345
Criminal. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, Hammond Division. Judge Philip Simon. Affirms the magistrate and district judges’ denials of Lorenzo Johnson’s requests for new counsel and the district judge’s denial of Johnson’s motion for a new trial. Finds the magistrate and district judges appropriately exercised their discretion in denying Johnson’s requests for new counsel. Also finds the district judge also properly denied Johnson’s motion for a new trial because it was undeveloped. Finally, finds Johnson’s claim of sentencing error is misplaced and not everything a judge says at sentencing is a factual finding. Attorneys for appellant: Jeremiah Newhall, Adam Tavitas. Attorneys for appellee: David Hollar, Nathaniel Whalen.
