02/08/1994ORDER: Appellant shall file by March 21, 1994, any response showing cause why counsel's motion should not be granted, the appeal dismissed, and the judgment from which the appeal was taken affirmed. Failure to respond shall result in the motion being submitted for decision on the motion and record alone. (By RO)
02/08/1994In the Above case, your court-appointed counsel has filed a motion to withdraw from this appeal. If you wish, you may file a response to your attorney's motion by the date set forth in the attached order. In your response, you should set out your reasons why your attorney should not be permitted to withdraw. You may also set forth any grounds for appeal you believe you may have. In the event you need additional time within which to respond, you must advise the court in writing using the self addressed stamped envelope provided. After your response has been received or the time for filing has expired, the motion and any response you may make will be submitted to the court for its consideration. The court will also review the record of the trial proceedings including the court reporter's transcript. If the court concludes the appeal lacks merit and grants the motion of your court-appointed counsel to withdraw, the appeal may be dismissed. Therefore, it is important that you file a response to the motion if your believe there are grounds for appeal.
