The State of TexasAppellee/s

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas March 5, 2014 No. 04-12-00574-CR Kevin John FARESE, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee From the County Court at Law No. 5, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 223808 Honorable Jason Pulliam, Judge Presiding

O R D E R Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice Suzanne Kramer, counsel for Appellant Kevin John Farese, and John F. Carroll have filed a Motion for Withdrawal and Substitution of Counsel, requesting that Suzanne Kramer be allowed to withdraw as counsel and John F. Carroll be substituted as counsel for Mr. Farese. The motion does not comply with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 6.5(a) because it does not state that Mr. Farese was notified in writing of the right to object to the motion. See TEX. R. APP. P. 6.5(a). However, because an opinion in this appeal issued on February 19, 2014, and appellate deadlines are running, we GRANT the Motion for Withdrawal and Substitution of Counsel in the interest of justice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 2.

We ORDER substituted counsel John F. Carroll to send a copy of this Order; a copy of the Motion for Withdrawal and Substitution of Counsel; and a copy of this Court’s Opinion and Judgment to Appellant Kevin Farese. _________________________________ Karen Angelini, Justice IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said court on this 5th day of March, 2014.
