On January 10, 2008, the Court confirmed its finding that Maclean had sufficient funds to pay his attorney's fees and costs. Doc. No. 7.

Maclean did not dispute or challenge this finding. Id. Because Maclean had not hired an attorney and did not indicate that he wanted to do so, the Court confirmed the appointment of Victor Torres but ordered Maclean to reimburse the Id. government for the costs of Torres' Id. legal

representation.

Maclean did not challenge this order.

Because this case has not concluded, counsel has not yet submitted a Criminal Justice Act voucher requesting payment for the legal services provided to Maclean. Once this case is termed, counsel

submits a CJA voucher, and counsel receives payment for his authorized services, the Clerk's Office will notify Maclean of the amount due and owing. Within thirty days (30) days of the Court's notification,

Maclean is to submit full payment directly to the Clerk of Court for the Southern District of California, 880 Front Street, Suite 4290, San Diego, California 92101-8890. IT IS SO ORDERED.
