in CR 09-667 (Doc. 64), without prejudice, is granted; the indictment is dismissed, without

prejudice. As a result of this Order, the Clerk of the Court shall close the criminal case.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Beltran be released from custody, if applicable.

Report and Recommendation to the Arizona State Bar for a determination of whether Jerry

Hernandez’s representation of Mr. Beltran violated the duty of competence.

DATED this 11th day of January, 2012.
