      RE: Motion to Withdraw of: Kristine Skocpol-Saleh, Texas Bar No. 24066713

     Dear Clerk of the Court,

     I have read the above referenced document filed by Kristine Skocpol-Saleh, Texas Bar
     No. 24066713 last night                          '                               "*

     Iherewith offer three of several letters (attached) Isentto Ms. Skocpol-Saleh beginning
     March 18, 2015 along with proof of service. I hope this will reaffirm my original letter and
     aid in the Court's decision making process.

     Iam in the process ofsecuring appellate counsel who has practiced beforethis Court
     but will need time to retrieve files from Ms. Skocpol-Saleh. The Declaratory judgment
     related to this Appeal remains pending in District Court.

     Thank you for your attention to this matter.

    RE: Formal Termination

    Dear Kristine,

    It is Friday morning. Ihave tried calling you this morning three (3) times per your
    instruction, to no avail.

    Ijust learned that you had not even filed an entry ofappearance with the Court of
    Appeals for the Second District ofTexas until February 11, 2015.
    Ihave contacted the Court Clerk for the Court of Appeals and have notified them that
    you have been TERMINATED.

    The Clerk advised that you must file the notice of your termination with the Court along
    m}lT^0J,On for Extension ofTirne or in the Alternative, Motion to Abate the Appeal
    ofFWtSD Based on Pendency ofUnderlying Declaratory Judgment as I have
    repeatedly requested.

    If you wish to withdraw from both the TOMA and Dansby cases, please advise.
   You have violated our trust in you, the terms of our contract, and have put me at great

   Ineed to secure all of my legal files necessary for the Appeal (and other cases if
   necessary) as soon as possible. This should include the original documents file and
   disk jgave you atour first meeting and which Ihave been requesting from you since
   October 2014.

   Acopy of this notice will be sent to the Court Clerk for the Court of Appeals.
   Thank yoiTfor your attention to this matter.
