PER CURIAM
Appellant's appointed counsel on appeal has filed a motion to withdraw, on the
ground that he has accepted employment as an assistant district attorney.  This Court may not grant
the motion because the effect would be to leave the indigent appellant without counsel.  Therefore,
the motion is dismissed.  The district court is ordered to promptly appoint substitute counsel for the
appeal of this cause, whereupon present counsel shall be permitted to withdraw. (1)
It is ordered September 5, 2002.
