In re Certification of Conflict & Motions to Withdraw Filed by Public Defender of the Tenth Judicial Circuit

Opinion of the Court

EN BANC ORDER

The Public Defender of the Tenth Judicial Circuit has filed motions to withdraw from 382 cases pending in the court. He has certified conflict and an excessive caseload in support of the motions. On September 7, 1993, a commissioner appointed by the court, following the conduct of an evidentiary hearing, rendered a report setting forth findings of fact and recommendations relative to the disposition of the Public Defender’s motions. The Public Defender, but no other party to the proceeding before the commissioner, filed a response to the commissioner’s report.

Pursuant to this order, the court receives the report of the commissioner and after reviewing the Public Defender’s response to it, grants the motions of the Public Defender of the Tenth Judicial Circuit to withdraw from the cases to which he was appointed whose records were transmitted to this court in February, March, April, and May, 1993.

Attached to this order is a list of the cases which are hereby remanded to the Chief *75Judge of the respective judicial circuit from which each matter originated with direction to appoint, within thirty days from the date of this order, an attorney to represent the defendant/appellant in each case pending before this court. It is the further order of the court that the order of appointment direct the appointed attorney to file the initial brief in the case within thirty days from the circuit court’s order of appointment and that a copy of each such order shall be furnished promptly to this court and to the defendant named in that order.

Done and ordered.

SCHOONOVER, J., concurs in result only.
