APPELLATE COUNSEL’S MOTION TO WITHDRAW
*****
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS, SIXTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
AT TEXARKANA:
Comes now, Donald K. Hoover, counsel for the Appellant, move this Court for
an Order allowing counsel to withdraw as appellate counsel of record for William
James Akin. In support of this motion, Counsel would show the Court that he has
accepted a position as a prosecutor with the Fannin County District. Counsel will start
that position on March 30, 2015. This will create a conflict of interest since Counsel
will represent the State of Texas. Moreover, as a prosecutor, Counsel is prohibited
from private practice. It is for these reason Counsel must seek withdrawal from this
case.
Counsel has filed a Motion to Withdraw from the corresponding trial court case
with the District Court, and he has asked the trial court to appoint new counsel. The
Motion and requests are still pending.
Neither the reporter’s record, nor the clerk’s record, have been received by
counsel at this time. At this time, no deadline has been set for submission of the
Appellant’s brief.
Appellant counsel requests that this Motion be granted. This request is not for
the purpose of delay, but so that justice may be done.
WHEREFORE, the Appellant prays that the Court grant this Motion and allow
him to withdraw as appellate counsel of record for Mr. Davis-Sanders.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ Donald Hoover
