             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,
