VS.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE
On Appeal from the 248th Criminal District Court
of Harris County, Texas, Cause Nos. 1412553
Honorable Katherine Cabaniss, Judge Presiding
MOTION TO WITHDRAW FROM REPRESENTATION
TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE FOURTEENTH COURT OF
APPEALS:
Comes now court-appointed appellate counsel, Deborah Summers, and
respectfully requests that she be allowed to withdraw from representation on the above
referenced appeal and in support would show the Court as follows:
I
I have reviewed the appellate record in this cause and have determined that there
are no legally cognizable arguments which could conceivably persuade this Court to
reverse my client's conviction. I have attempted to resolve doubts and
ambiguous legal questions in favor of my client and have not been able to locate one
issue which is arguable on its merits.
II
I have provided my client with a copy of my brief in this cause. I have also
provided his trial transcript and motion for an extension of time in which to allow
Appellant to file a pro se brief under the Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967)
procedure. Further, I have informed my client that he has the right to review the
appellate record and file a pro se brief.
WHEREAS PREMISES CONSIDERED, appellant counsel prays that this Court
GRANT this motion and allow counsel to withdraw from representation.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/Deborah Summers
