RICHARD M. ALLEN, )
Defendant. )

Defendant appears in person with court appointed counsel. Robert Scremin and William

Lebrato. State by Prosecuting Attorney Nicholas McLeland and Special Prosecutor James Luttrell.

Former counsel Rozzi and Baldwin also appear, having entered an appearance October 30, 2023.

Attorney Scremin and Lebrato's Motion to Continue the jurytrial heard and granted without objection

by the State as defendant is accepting the Criminal Rule 4 time.

Court then addresses former attorneys Baldwin and Rozzi's appearance. The Court previously

found gross negligence by said attorneys in their representation of the defendant. Nothing has

changed in the intervening twelve (12) days that removes the Court's grave concerns about their

representation. Over Rozzi and Baldwin's strenuous objections, Court disqualifies them from

representing the defendant and affirrns the appointment of contract Public Defenders Scremin and

Lebrato.

Former attorneys represent to the Court they will return all discovery to the State of

Indiana by the end of the week. Counsel ordered to do so to enable the State to provide that discovery

to Attorneys Scremin and Lebrato. Court encourages former attorneys to cooperate with Attorneys

Scremin and Lebrato for the benefit of the defendant. Court notes two (2) pending motions (Motion

to Suppress, Motion for Franks Hearing) and will await a report from Attorneys Scremin and Lebrato

and Prosecuting Attorney McLeland regarding hearing dates.

Baldwin's attorney, Hennessey, addresses the Court at Baldwin's request.

 Jury trial scheduled for October 15 —
