COURT-APPOINTED COUNSEL’S MOTION TO WITHDRAW
TO THE COURT OF APPEALS:
Cheri Duncan, Assistant Public Defender in the Harris County Public
Defender’s Office, moves to withdraw as court-appointed attorney of record for the
Appellant, VINCENT EDWARD BROUSSARD, in this case.
I.
Counsel is filing, simultaneously with this motion, a Brief for Appellant, in
which she argues that there are no non-frivolous issues to be raised in Appellant’s
appeal. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).
For the reasons described in the brief, counsel moves that she be allowed to
withdraw from representing Appellant further in this appeal. If this Court grants her
motion, counsel will attempt to inform the Appellant of the result of his appeal and
will also attempt to inform the Appellant that he may, on his own, pursue
discretionary review in the Court of Criminal Appeals. See Ex parte Wilson, 956 S.W.2d
25, 27 (Tex. Crim. App. 1997).
II.
Counsel will send Appellant the trial court record, and requests the Court to
grant Appellant additional time to file a pro se brief in addition to the brief that
counsel is filing with this motion. Counsel will deliver to Appellant, by Certified Mail
– RRR, a copy of this motion, as well as a copy of the Brief for Appellant brief and a
copy of the entire appellate record.
PRAYER
For these reasons, counsel moves that she be allowed to withdraw as court-
appointed attorney of record for the Appellant, VINCENT EDWARD
BROUSSARD.
Respectfully submitted,
ALEXANDER BUNIN
Chief Public Defender
Harris County Texas
