       v.                                                            ORDER

 MICHAEL LEE CAMERON,

                Defendant and Appellant.

       On June 30, 2020, this Court denied and dismissed, with prejudice, Appellant
Michael Lee Cameron's motion to proceed as a self-represented litigant in his appeal of a
revocation of a criminal sentence from the Thirteenth Judicial District Court. We stated
then that he had no right to proceed pro se in such an appeal and that he has not established
good cause. We also cautioned Cameron not to file pleadings while represented by
counsel. M.R. App. P. 10(1)(c). Cameron appears with his second motion to proceed pro
se, asserting ineffective assistance of counsel clairns because his court-appointed attorney
is managing other appeals along with his case and is caring for her children along with her
other duties.
       We decline to consider his instant motion or to deem this motion as a petition for
rehearing. M.R. App. P. 20(1)(d). Accordingly,
       IT IS ORDERED that Cameron's Motion to Proceed Pro Se is DENIED.
       The Clerk is directed to provide a copy of this Order to counsel of record and to
Michael Lee Cameron personally.
       DATED this )(::,day of November, 2020.
