TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF THIS COURT:

        Movant Gerald D. McFarlen, respectfully moves the Court to enter an order permitting

his withdrawal as attorney of record for Hugh Long, Defendant herein, and in support show:

1.      This motion is based on good cause in that movant’s physical, mental or psychological

condition materially impairs movant’s fitness to represent Appellants/Cross-appellees. Tex.

Discip. R. 1.15 (a)(2). This withdrawal is not sought for delay only but that justice may be

done.

                                    NOTICE TO CLIENT

        2.     You do not have to agree to this motion. If you wish to contest the withdrawal

of Gerald D. McFarlen and the Law Office of Gerald D. McFarlen, P.C., as your attorney of

record, you should file a response to the motion and serve a copy on the undersigned.

     3.       Movants have conferred with counsel for Appellees/Cross-appellants in this

                    Mark Anderson by email and telefax;
             b.      By this motion, and by teleconference, Appellees have been notified of
                    their right to object to this motion;
             c.     The last known address of Appellants/Cross-appellees is c/o T. Mark

is being filed contemporaneously with this motion.

     6.      For the reasons given above, Movant respectfully urges the Court to grant this

Motion to Withdraw.
