SUPREME COURT OF ARKANSAS No. CR-14-833
ROBERT HOLLAND Opinion Delivered October 23, 2014 APPELLANT MOTION TO BE RELIEVED AS V. ATTORNEY FOR APPELLANT AND STAY OF BRIEFING SCHEDULE
STATE OF ARKANSAS APPELLEE MOTION GRANTED.
PER CURIAM
Appellant was found guilty of capital murder and was sentenced to death by lethal
injection. An appeal from the judgment has been lodged in this court. Holland is represented
by John W. Cone, a full-time public defender, who now asks that he be relieved as counsel
on the ground that he is ineligible for compensation for services as appellate counsel.
Arkansas Code Annotated section 19-4-1604(b)(2)(B) (Repl. 2007) provides that
persons employed as full-time public defenders who are not provided a state-funded secretary
are eligible to seek compensation for appellate work. Counsel affirms that he is a full-time
public defender with a full-time, state-funded secretary. Under these circumstances, he is not
entitled to be paid for services in this appeal, and his request to be relieved is well founded.
See Williamson v. State, 2013 Ark. 1 (per curiam).
We grant Cone’s motion to be relieved, and we appoint Mr. Paul J. Teufel and Ms.
Charlene Davidson Henry to represent Holland. Our clerk is directed to set a new briefing
schedule for the appeal.
