UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 
 
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,  
 
                                            Plaintiff,  
 
                               v.  
 
RAUL ZAMUDIO HURTADO, JR.,  
 
                                            Defendant.  
 
1:17-cr-00135 LJO SKO 
 
ORDER ON SUBSTITUION OF 
COUNSEL REQUEST 
 
(ECF No. 387) 
  
The Court has received and reviewed the Statement of Counsel (Document 387) wishing to 
substitute into this case at a very late date.  Sentencing is currently set in 8 days. 
The Statement of Counsel provides two salient facts: 
1. If allowed to substitute into the case, he will not be ready to proceed with the sentencing 
as scheduled; and 
2. He has no current information, factually or procedurally, that would justify a continuance 
of the sentencing except that his client simply wants new counsel (current counsel was retained, i.e. was 
of the Defendant’s choosing). 
The information presented does not justify the de facto motion for a continuance of the 
sentencing. 
The Motion to Substitute Counsel at this late stage of the case is DENIED. 
IT IS SO ORDERED. 
 
 Dated:     January 13, 2020                /s/ Lawrence J. O’Neill   _____
