                                    Trial Court No. 7076
                      Honorable Albert D. Pattillo, III, Judge Presiding

                                         ORDER
       After appellant’s conviction, his appointed trial counsel, Mr. Oliver Neel, filed a motion
to withdraw as trial counsel, which the trial court granted on April 7, 2022. On April 22, 2022,
Mr. Neel filed a motion with this court asking that the appeal be abated and remanded to the trial
court for appointment of appellate counsel. On April 26, 2022, the trial court appointed Mr.
Neel as appellate counsel for appellant. On April 27, 022, Mr. Neel filed a notice of appearance
and a waiver of his motion to abate. Therefore, the Motion to Abate Appeal and for
Appointment of New Counsel is DENIED AS MOOT.
