    The Federal Public Defender's Office is hereby appointed on ancillary matters appropriate to the
proceedings in which the Federal Public Defender was previously appointed pursuant to an Order of this
Court provided it is apparent to the Federal Public Defender that no change in the client's financial
condition has occurred which would render the person financially ineligible for appointment of counsel
under the Criminal Justice Act.  If, at any time during the representation in the ancillary matter, the Federal
Public Defender obtains information that a client is financially able to make payment, in whole or in part,
for legal or other services in connection with the representation, and the source of the information is not
protected as a privileged communication, the Federal Public Defender shall advise the Court.
    This General Order shall serve to authorize the Federal Public Defender to provide assistance of
counsel to financially eligible persons in ancillary matters even though the initial appointment of the Federal
Public Defender has otherwise terminated due to the conclusion of the matter for which the Federal Public
Defender was originally appointed.  Prior to the appearance in this Court on any new matter filed against
a Defendant, the Federal Public Defender shall present to the Court a financial affidavit completed by the
client to be represented.
