Appellate case number: 01-18-00051-CV Trial court case number: D-1-FM-15-005030 Trial court: 53rd District Court of Travis County Counsel for appellant filed a motion to withdraw as counsel, claiming that good cause exists in the form of “an unforeseeable and absolute conflict of interest . . . the details of which can only be disclosed upon request from a proper authority with proper credentials.” The motion contains no signature of appellant and the certificate of service does not show that the motion was served on appellant.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 6.5(a). Counsel’s motion contains a list of settings and deadlines, but it does not otherwise comply with Rule 6.5(a). The motion to withdraw is STRUCK. Counsel may refile a motion to withdraw in compliance with Rule 6.5(a). It is so ORDERED. Judge’s signature: /s/ Michael Massengale  Acting individually  Acting for the Court Date: August 23, 2018
