to adopt the motions to withdraw and briefs in support of the motion pursuant to
Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 18 L. Ed.2d 493 (1967) previously filed
by Nita Fanning or if he will be filing briefs on the merits. Any briefs on the merits by
counsel for William K. are due by October 15, 2015. Because these are accelerated
