THE STATE OF TEXAS                          X    OF THE STATE OF TEXAS

                 Court-Appointed Counsel’s Motion to Withdraw

TO THE COURT:

      COMES NOW, BOB WICOFF, attorney at law, and moves to withdraw as

attorney of record for the Appellant, Richard Anthony Scott, in the above cause, and

as grounds therefore would show as follows:

                                            I.

      The undersigned is filing, simultaneously with this motion, the Appellant’s

Brief in Support of Motion to Withdraw, in which he argues that there are no

arguable issues to be raised in the Appellant’s appeal. Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738,

87 S. Ct. 1396, 18 L. Ed. 2d 493 (1967) and Stephens v. State, 35 S.W.3d 770 (Tex.App.-

Houston [1st Dist.] 2000, no pet).

      For the reasons that are stated in such brief, the undersigned moves that he be

allowed to withdraw from representing the Appellant further in this appeal. Should

this Court grant this motion, the undersigned will attempt to inform the Appellant of

the result of his appeal and will also attempt to inform the Appellant that he may, on
his own, pursue discretionary review in the Court of Criminal Appeals. See Ex parte

Wilson, 956 S.W.2d 25, 27 (Tex. Crim. App. 1997).

      The undersigned has mailed a copy of this motion, as well as a copy of both

the Appellant’s brief and a copy of the entire appellate record (which consists of one

volume of the Clerk’s Record, and four volumes of the Reporter’s Record) to the

Appellant at his current address, which is:

                                         Richard Scott
                                         TDCJ # 01947385
                                         Bartlett Unit

                                         Bartlett, Texas 76511

      WHEREFORE, the undersigned moves that he be allowed to withdraw as

court-appointed attorney of record for the Appellant, Richard Anthony Scott, in the

above styled appeal.

                                               Respectfully submitted,
