                             MOTION TO WITHDRAW                            Clerk

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:
      Now comes James Huggler, Counsel for the Appellant, in the above styled and
numbered causes, and would show the Court as follows:

                       I. Factual and Procedural Background
      Counsel was appointed to serve as appellate counsel in these matters on October
27, 2014. The Brief of the Appellant is due on AprillO, 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 Brief in
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.

                               III. Prayer for Relief
     Counsel requests that he be allowed to withdraw, and for other such relief as the
Court may deem appropriate.

                                      Respectfully submitted,

         Dear Mr. Neely,

         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.
