ATTORNEY FOR APPELLANT
MOTION FOR WITHDRAWAL OF COUNSEL
This Motion for Withdrawal of Court Appointed Counsel is brought by John
Tatum, Movant, who is court appointed attorney of record for Demarcus Jermane
Sampson. Movant requests the Court to grant Movant permission to withdraw as
attorney for Demarcus Jermane Sampson in the appeal of these causes. In
support, Movant shows:
Good cause exists for withdrawal of Movant as counsel on appeal, in that
pursuant to the statement made in the brief in support of this motion, counsel has
expressed an opinion that in each case on appeal counsel is of the opinion that
the appeal in each case is frivolous. This withdrawal is not sought for delay but
required by the cases cited in the brief in support of this motion .
A copy of this motion has been delivered to Demarcus Jermane Sampson.
The last known address of Demarcus Jermane Sampson is BIN# 13049333,
Dallas County Jail, Tank #3 W 06 P.O. Box 660334 Dallas, Texas 75266-
0334.
Movant prays that the Court enter an order discharging Movant as
attorney of record on appeal in each case for Appellant, Demarcus
Jermane Sampson.
Respectfully submitted,
