Solomon Kofi Equam v. State
Solomon Kofi Equam v. State
Opinion
Order filed August 7, 2012.
In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals ____________ NO. 14-11-00105-CR ____________ SOLOMON KOFI EQUAM, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 184th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1210061
ORDER Appellant's counsel filed a brief under the authority of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738(1967), in which he concludes the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit.
On July 12, 2012, this court ordered counsel to file a motion to withdraw and copy of the transmittal letter to comply with the requirements set forth in Anders. The order mistakenly stated counsel was appointed.
Because counsel is retained, the motion to withdraw must comply with the requirements of Rule 6.5 of the Rules of Appellate Procedure. See Lopez v. State, 283 S.W.3d 479, 480 (Tex. App. -- Texarkana 2009, ). The motion to withdraw must disclose current deadlines and settings, appellant's name and last known address, a statement that a copy of the motion was delivered to appellant, and a statement that appellant was notified in writing of the right to object to the motion. See Tex. R. App. P. 6.5(a). Further, it must be delivered to appellant in person or mailed by certified and first-class mail to appellant's last known address. See Tex. R. App. P. 6.5(b).
Accordingly, we order Edmond N. O'Suji, to file a motion to withdraw in accordance with Rule 6.5 on or before August 17, 2012.
