 Re: Case No. 19-4171, USA v. Andrey Shuklin

Originating Case No. : 1:18-cr-00109-1 

Dear Counsel, 

 This appeal has been docketed as case number 19-4171 with the caption that is enclosed on a 

separate page. 

 Even if the defendant filed the notice of appeal, Sixth Circuit Rule 12(c)(1) requires that 

counsel continue representation on appeal until specifically relieved by this Court. If a convicted 

defendant did not qualify to proceed in forma pauperis in the district court but appears to qualify 

on appeal, Sixth Circuit Rule 24 requires that "trial counsel must see that the defendant 

completes CJA Form 23 (for an incarcerated defendant) or Fed. R. App. P. Form 4 (for a 

defendant not incarcerated) and files it in the district court." Counsel's failure to act in this 

situation may result in adverse action from this court.

 Before preparing any documents to be filed, counsel are strongly encouraged to read the Sixth 

Circuit Rules at www.ca6.uscourts.gov. If you have not established a PACER account and 

registered with this court as an ECF filer, you should do so immediately. Your password for 

district court filings will not work in the appellate ECF system. 

 At this stage of the appeal, the following forms should be downloaded from the web site and 

filed with the Clerk's office by December 17, 2019. Additionally, the transcript order must be 

completed by that date. For further information and instructions on ordering transcript 

electronically, please visit the court's website.

 More specific instructions are printed on each form. If the filing fee for the appeal is due 

because the appellant is not indigent, it must be paid to the District Court by December 17, 

2019. These deadlines are important -- if the initial forms are not timely filed or the filing fee is 

due but not paid, the appeal will be dismissed for want of prosecution. 

 If you have questions after reviewing the forms and the rules, please contact the Clerk's office 

for assistance. 

 Sincerely yours,
