PETITIONER
V CASE NO. 8:93-CV-1169-T-23EAJ
JAMES McDONOUGH
RESPONDENT

LEAVE OF COURT TO PROCEED PRO SE
WHILE HOLDING CASE IN ABEYANCE UNTIL
ATTORNEY CONFLICT IS RESOLVED

Now comes Petitioner Pro Se humbly before this Honourable Court to seek leave of Court in accordance with Locale Rule 2.03 (d) (M.D. Fla.). Requesting this case be placed in abeyance until the issues presented in this Petition are ruled on.

Petitioner is in no way seeking to use this Petition as a dilatory tactic. Petitioner is under extreme duress and fears attorney Bjorn Brunvand is deliberately sabotaging his case before this Court by denying to provide the representation asked of him. Petitioner has filed numerous Pro Se petitions complaining to this Court about attorney Brunvand’s failure to provide accurate, diligent and zealous representation. This Court has not ruled the issues this Petitioner wants raised before this Court to be frivolous. As such Petitioner now asks this Court to recognise attorney Brunvand’s actions as being prejudicial to Petitioner and allow Petitioner to dismiss attorney Brunvand and proceed Pro Se. Durocher v Singletary, 623 S0. 2D. 482. (Fla. 1905). Faretta v California, 442 U.S. at 820-821, 95 S. CT. at 2533- 2534.

Dear Judge Merryday,

On August 23rd, 2006, I filed the attached Florida Bar complaint against attorney Bjorn Brunvand, along with five incorporated complaints against attorney’s Ron Eide, Wayne Shipp, Darryl Rouson, Bruce Bartlett and Bruce Young.

On September 7th, 2006, I received a copy of the second amended petition for writ of Habeas Corpus by A Person in State custody, filed September 1, 2006, by attorney Bjorn Brunvand. It was only through receipt of this petition that I became aware that on June 6, 2006, your Honour issued an order in regards to Faretta issue. (I never received a copy of said order) nor, did attorney Brunvand send a cover letter with his September 1, 2006, copy of amended Habeas petition to explain his actions.

At this point and time I have no idea what your June 6, 2006, order pertained to, and, if it included mention of my May 26, 2006, Pro Se filing entitled: Petitioners Pro Se Request for Judicial Inquiry / Interrogatory Expansion of Record. Which only adds to the list of attorney Brunvand’s failure to keep me informed and provide me with affective / actual representation. Failure of attorney Brunvand to keep me informed and his repeated failure to provide me with requested representation. Does now amount to a total breakdown of attorney / client relations, as well as showing an irreparable conflict of interest. Which has caused me to lose all trust and faith in attorney Brunvand to provide me effective representation. As such, I have once more requested attorney Brunvand withdraw from my case (see attached copy of letter addressed to attorney Brunvand). It is my prayer this court accept Brunvand’s resignation and appoint new counsel to represent me.

Respectfully,

Milo Rose
