Lawyers for Hunter Biden filed, and then quickly deleted, a demand for a new trial after he was found guilty on charges related to lying on a form for purchasing a handgun.
Lawyers filed a new motion withdrawing their motion seeking a new trial nearly immediately after the first filing appeared, a Delaware court's website notes.
'The Motion for a New Trial (formerly DI 233) has been deleted at the request of counsel,' according to the 'correcting entry.'
The legal confusion comes after the president's son was found guilty of three criminal charges in his blockbuster gun and drugs trial.
After a jury handed down the verdict last week, Hunter Biden lawyer Abbe Lowell issued a statement saying 'We are naturally disappointed by today’s verdict' but vowing to 'vigorously' pursue remedies.
'We will continue to vigorously pursue all the legal challenges available to Hunter,' he wrote. Sentencing is expected in the case in September.
The since-deleted filing had made arguments on complex procedural grounds.
It stated that an appeals court 'has not yet issued its mandate as to the orders dismissing either appeal' related to criminal charges involving the president's son. The filing argued that when the court empaneled a jury on June 3, 'it was without jurisdiction to do so.'
Hunter Biden had been expected to appeal the conviction based in part on recent Second Amendment decisions by higher courts.
DailyMail.com has reached out to Lowell for further clarification.
