IN THE MATTER OF THE MARRIAGE OF

LEANNE FARRELL COLLIER AND ROBERT GREG COLLIER

AND IN THE INTEREST OF R.C.C., A CHILD

_____________________________

FROM THE 99^TH DISTRICT COURT OF LUBBOCK COUNTY;

NO. 2007-539,120; HONORABLE WILLIAM C. SOWDER, JUDGE

_______________________________

Before CAMPBELL and HANCOCK and PIRTLE, JJ.

ORDER ON COUNSEL’S MOTION TO WITHDRAW

            Pending before this Court is a Motion for Withdrawal of Counsel filed by counsel for appellant, Robert Greg Collier.  By the motion, Robert Collier’s attorneys represent that a conflict of interest has arisen in their representation of Collier that requires counsel to withdraw.  See Tex. Disciplinary R. Prof’l Conduct 1.09.

            The motion substantially complies with Rule 6.5(a) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure and recites that a copy of the motion was delivered to Collier at his last known address, as required by subsection (b).  Accordingly, the motion to withdraw is granted.  Counsel for appellant is directed to immediately notify Collier, in writing, of any deadlines or settings that counsel knows about at the time of withdrawal but that were not previously disclosed to Collier.  See Tex. R. App. P. 6.5(c).  A copy of counsel’s notice must be filed with the Clerk of this Court on or before February 16, 2010.  Id.

            Appellant is ordered to either have newly retained counsel make an appearance in this appeal or certify to this Court that he desires to proceed without counsel on or before March 2, 2010.  As appellant’s brief has already been filed, leave of court must be sought for any supplementation or amendment of that brief.
