Heading: henry’s pro se status

Text: Henry retained attorney Jason Kreiss to represent him in the district court. After the district court entered its judgment and conviction, Henry filed a notice of appeal; Kreiss moved in the district court to withdraw as Henry’s counsel. The district court held a hearing on Kreiss’s motion, and both Kreiss and Henry appeared. After the hearing, the district court granted Kreiss’s motion to withdraw as Henry’s counsel. Also, because Henry informed the court that he still owned multiple properties, the district court determined that he was not indigent and thus declined to appoint new counsel to represent him on appeal. At the end of the hearing, Henry indicated that he wanted Kreiss to file a notice with this Court voluntarily dismissing his appeal so he could file a 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion to vacate. However, Henry later informed this Court that he wanted to withdraw the notice dismissing his appeal. Although this Court has sent Henry multiple letters regarding appointment of counsel, Henry has not filed a motion for appointment of counsel on appeal. Instead, he has filed a pro se appellate brief.1 Thus, we will address the issues raised in Henry’s pro se appeal. 1 Henry also has filed a pro se motion to supplement the record, which we hereby grant. 2
