           APPELLATE COUNSEL’S MOTION TO WITHDRAW

                                      *****

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS, SIXTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
AT TEXARKANA:

      Comes now, Donald K. Hoover, counsel for the Appellant, move this Court for

an Order allowing counsel to withdraw as appellate counsel of record for Darrian

De’Anthony Davis-Sanders. In support of this motion, Counsel would show the Court

that he has accepted a position as a prosecutor with the Fannin County District.

Counsel will start that position on March 30, 2015. This will create a conflict of

interest since Counsel will represent the State of Texas. Moreover, as a prosecutor,

Counsel is prohibited from private practice. It is for these reason Counsel must seek

withdrawal from this case.
      Counsel has filed a Motion to Withdraw from the corresponding trial court case

with the District Court, and he has asked the trial court to appoint new counsel. The

Motion and requests are still pending.

      Counsel is in possession of the reporter’s record and clerk’s record, and will

turn those items, along with the case, over to replacement counsel. The Appellant’s

brief was due on March 16, 2015, however, Counsel filed a Motion for Extension of

Time to File Appellant’s Brief on March 16, 2015.

      Appellant counsel requests that this Motion be granted. This request is not for

the purpose of delay, but so that justice may be done.

      WHEREFORE, the Appellant prays that the Court grant this Motion and allow

him to withdraw as appellate counsel of record for Mr. Davis-Sanders.

                                         Respectfully submitted,

                                           /s/ Donald Hoover
