Before Ms. Kshatri provides information concerning this allegation in a hearing, the Court will make available to Ms. Kshatri an attorney from the Office of the Federal Public Defender for the Northern District of Alabama so that Ms. Kshatri has the opportunity, if she wishes, to consult with an attorney about materials relating to the alleged dismissed charge before Ms. Kshatri places those materials in the record. An attorney for the Federal Public Defender's Office shall please attend the April 28, 2025 hearing in this matter. The Clerk of Court shall please email a copy of the docket sheet in this case containing this order to the Office of the Federal Public Defender for the Northern District of Alabama.
