Opinion

Per Curiam.

Katherine S. Streett, as a state-salaried, full-time public defender, was appointed by the trial court to represent appellant Jason Nugene Turner, an indigent defendant, in this criminal case. Turner was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment in the Arkansas Department of Correction. Ms. Streett timely filed a notice of appeal from the judgment of conviction and lodged the appellate record with the Supreme Court Clerk.

Ms. Streett now asks this court to relieve her as appellant’s counsel and to appoint new counsel. Ms. Street cites Rushing v. State, 340 Ark. 84, 8 S.W.3d 489 (2000), that public defenders cannot be paid separately to file appeals.¹ Accordingly, we grant Ms. Streett’s motion to be relieved for good cause shown. Mr. Mark M. Henry will be substituted as appellant’s attorney in this matter.
