UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO Criminal Case Number: 03-cr-00128-WYD UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. DANA WEST A/K/A ABRAHAM Defendant.

REPLY TO SHOW CAUSE ORDER

Defendant, Dana West a.k.a "Abraham", by and through counsel, Harvey A. Steinberg, of the law firm of Springer and Steinberg, P.C., hereby replies to the Court's Order to Show Cause in this matter. 1. Since the Court's order, the Defendant has been arrested and is being held at the

Jefferson County Jail. 2. Subsequent to his arrest, undersigned counsel personally spoke with the

psychiatrist the Court ordered to do the examination. She is making arrangements to visit with the Defendant at the Jefferson County Jail. 3. Specifically answering the Court's questions as set forth in its Order would

invade the attorney/client relationship and would necessarily cause withdrawal of counsel from this matter. As a result, given the change in status of this situation, undersigned counsel is requesting the Court discharge its Show Cause Order without further response from counsel.
