      Our records reflect appellant is represented by appointed counsel on appeal,
Joseph W. Varela. On March 26, 2015, counsel filed a motion to withdraw as
appellate counsel contending he filed a motion to withdraw in the trial court and
was not appointed to represent counsel of appeal. Accordingly, we enter the
following order.

withdraw. If current counsel is permitted to withdraw, the judge shall appoint new
appellate counsel for appellant. The judge shall see that a record of any hearing is
made, and shall order the trial clerk to forward a record of the hearing and a
supplemental clerk’s record containing any orders permitting counsel to withdraw
and appointing new counsel. Those records shall be filed with the clerk of this
within 30 days of the date of this order

      The appeal is abated, treated as a closed case, and removed from this Court’s
active docket. The appeal will be reinstated on this Court’s active docket when the
trial court’s findings and recommendations are filed in this Court.
