                                _________________

       Melinda A. Driscoll, counsel for Appellant David Ray Schultz, has filed a Motion
to Withdraw as Schultz’s counsel and appoint the Appellate Defender Division (ADD) to
represent Dulaney in his appeal because Appellant lacks the financial means to maintain
private representation on appeal.

       The Appellate Defender Division shall have until November 27, 2023, to file either
a notice of appearance or a motion to rescind this Order appointing counsel. In the event
the Appellant qualifies for appointed counsel, the Appellate Defender Division shall
immediately order transcripts.
       The Clerk is directed to provide a copy of this Order to counsel of record, to
Appellant David Ray Schultz, and to the Appellate Defender Division.

                                                                           Electronically signed by:
