Opinion

In The

Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont ____________________ NO. 09-17-00120-CR ____________________

CODY AARON DEROCHE, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee _______________________________________________________ ______________

On Appeal from the 260th District Court Orange County, Texas Trial Cause No. D070792-R ________________________________________________________ _____________

ORDER

Counsel of record for Cody Aaron Deroche filed a motion for leave to

withdraw as counsel and to order the trial court to appoint new counsel on appeal.

The motion presents good cause to permit counsel to withdraw. Because counsel

was appointed by the trial court, the case must be remanded to that court for

appointment of new counsel.

It is, therefore, ORDERED that the appeal is abated and the case is remanded

to the trial court for the purpose of appointing new counsel to represent the appellant.

1 All appellate timetables are suspended pending resolution of this matter in the trial

court. A supplemental clerk’s record containing any orders and findings made by the

trial court pursuant to this Order shall be filed with the Court of Appeals by February

9, 2018.

ORDER ENTERED January 10, 2018.

PER CURIAM

Before McKeithen, C.J., Kreger and Johnson, JJ.
