062836P.pdf   02/22/2007  USA  v.  Craig L. Watson
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-2836
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Loken, Chief Judge, and Shepherd,
   Circuit Judge]
   Criminal case - criminal law. There is nothing inherent about the
   suspension of an attorney's state law license which would necessarily
   interfere with a trained attorney's ability to represent a defendant
   in federal court; district court did not err in rejecting defendant's
   claim that he knew nothing about his attorney's suspension or his claim
   that his signature had been forged; defendant had no right to be present
   at district court hearing on counsel's practice status.
