Wheeling, West Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Following a jury trial, Anita Ambler was convicted of
twenty-five fraud related offenses and sentenced to 87 months’
imprisonment. She appeals, challenging only the district
court’s denial of her pre-trial motion for substitution of
counsel. We affirm.
Although the district court applied the wrong standard
in ruling on the motion for substitution of counsel, compare
United States v. Mullen, 32 F.3d 891 (4th Cir. 1994) (explaining
factors court of appeals applies to review decision of district
court), with Martel v. Clair, 132 S. Ct. 1276, 1284-87 (2012)
(explaining standard used by district courts to decide motions
for substitution), we have reviewed the record and the briefs
filed by the parties, and we find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm Ambler’s conviction and sentence. We
dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before
this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
