                             I. Factual and Procedural Background
       Counsel was appointed to serve as appellate counsel in these matters on April24, 2015. The

Brief of the Appellant is due on August 24,2015.

                                      II. Grounds for Withdrawal
       Counsel has reviewed the Clerk's Record and the Court Reporter's Record in these cases.

Following a professional evaluation of the record, it is Counsel's opinion that there is no valid issue

to present to this Court, and that the record contains no reversible error or jurisdictional defects.

Counsel has filed an Appellant's Briefin accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).

Finding no valid issue to present to the Court, Counsel seeks to withdraw.

       Counsel has sent Appellant explaining his rights, and the ability to pursue his own appeal,

and a motion to obtain the record if he desires to do so in this matter, and attaches a copy of that

letter as Exhibit A to this Motion.

         Dear Mr. Motes,

        I am sending you a copy of the Appellant's Brief and a Motion to Withdraw that I have filed with
        the Twelfth Court of Appeals in this matter. I have thoroughly reviewed the record, and have found
        no reversible error or jurisdictional defect in these cases. However, you may choose to file a Brief
        of your own in these matters. I am also sending you a motion to obtain access to the record for your
        use. If you desire to file your own brief in the case, please sign the motion to allow access to the
        record, and return it to me immediately and I will make the necessary copies and file the document
        for you. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
