David Jermain HAWKINS,

Appellant

v.

The STATE of Texas,

Appellee

From the 437th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2015CR0291 Honorable Lori I. Valenzuela, Judge Presiding

ORDER

The trial court appointed Mr. Michael Young, as Chief Public Defender of Bexar County, to represent appellant in these appeals. Initially, Mr. Young assigned Mr. Richard B. Dulany Jr., an employee with the Public Defender’s Office, to these appeals. Mr. Dulany is no longer with the Public Defender’s Office, and another attorney in the Public Defender’s Office has filed a notice of appearance with regard to these appeals.

Mr. Dulany has filed in this court a “Motion to Withdraw as Counsel.” After reviewing the motion, we GRANT the request to withdraw as counsel, but we DENY the request to abate the matter to the trial court.

We order the clerk of this court to serve a copy of this order on Mr. Richard B. Dulany Jr. and all current counsel.
