                                   MOTION TO WITHDRAW

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:

         Now comes Jonathan A. Newsom, Movant and attorney of record for Defendant, Michael

Dean Raglin, brings this Motion to Withdraw as counsel and in support thereof shows:

         1.     Movant was appointed by the Court to represent Defendant in the trial of this

cause.

         2.     Defendant, Michael Dean Raglin, Suspended Sentence was revoked and was

sentenced to 10 years on September 22, 2015. Movant has advised Michael Dean Raglin of his

right to appeal in this cause.

         3.     The following deadlines and/or settings exist in this case:

               a.      To file Notice of Appeal: Filed on October 9, 2015.

               b.      To file a Motion for New Trial: October 22, 2015.

         4.     Movant and Defendant request the Court appoint an attorney to represent

Defendant in his appeal in this case, because he is indigent and cannot afford to employ counsel.

Defendant's Affidavit of Indigence is already on file with the papers in this cause and there has

been no change in his financial ability to hire an attorney to represent him in this case.

         5.    Movant has advised Defendant of his right to file a motion for new trial and a

notice of appeal; that Movant will assist in requesting prompt appointment of replacement

counsel if Defendant wishes to file a motion for new trial and/or a notice of appeal; and, if
..

     replacement counsel is not appointed promptly and Defendant wishes to pursue an appeal,

     Movant will file a timely notice of appeal.

            6.      A copy of this motion has been hand delivered to him by Movant.

                                                   PRAYER

            WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Movant prays that the Court allow

     Jonathan A. Newsom to withdraw as counsel for Michael Dean Raglin and from any further

     representation of Michael Dean Raglin in this cause. Defendant and Movant further pray the

     Court appoint counsel to represent Defendant in the appeal of this case.

                                                   Respectfully submitted,
