OGDEN — Second District Judge Noel S. Hyde on Tuesday ordered a May 31 hearing to consider a request from Matthew David Stewart to fire his public defenders.

Stewart has told the court he wants to use attorneys he selects to defend him against aggravated murder charges in the Jan. 4 shootout with police that resulted in the death of one officer.

The May 31 hearing will be to question Stewart in more detail about his decision to hire private attorneys and to explore whether Stewart is indigent and qualifies for public defenders.
