033487P.pdf   03/08/2005  USA  v.  C. Gonzalez-Lopez
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  03-3487
   Eastern District of Missouri   
  Criminal Case - criminal law. District court erred in denying attorney's 
   application for admission pro hac vice and thus deprived defendant of 
   right to counsel of his choice. Denial of a criminal defendant's Sixth 
   Amendment right to be represented by the attorney he selected results in 
   automatic reversal of the conviction; error belongs to class of 
   fundamental constitutional errors and is never harmless. Conviction is 
   reversed and case is remanded for new trial. [PUBLISHED] [Bye,
