LCrRLJ 3.1(d)
              RIGHT TO AN ASSIGNMENT OF LAWYER


     Indigent defendants shall have counsel appointed to represent
them in all criminal cases unless the right to counsel is waived.
Indigency shall mean an inability to pay an attorney a reasonable
fee for the services which appear to be required by reasons of the
crime charged without substantial hardship to himself or his
family.  Defendants who may request appointment of counsel may be
required to promptly execute a financial disclosure under oath,
which shall be filed in substantially the form set forth in
Exhibit LCrRLJ 3.1 (d)(1) and (2).

     All appointments of counsel by reason of indigency are
expressly contingent upon indigency and full disclosure of assets.
Where assets are discovered or acquired subsequent to appointment
which would indicate that the defendant can afford to retain
counsel, or if the defendant can afford partial payment, fees may
be ordered paid, pursuant to the appointment agreement, by the
court.

     Upon appointment of counsel for indigent criminal defendants
or other litigants, the Clerk shall promptly provide counsel with
notice of the appointment.

     Attorneys representing defendants in criminal cases must
serve prompt written notice of appearance upon the prosecuting
attorney and file the same with the clerk of the court.
