Description
Order: Norma Leticia Trevino was convicted of conspiracy to possess cocaine with intent to distribute. After sentencing, she requested appointed counsel for appeal, and the district court appointed Adrienne Urrutia, an assistant federal public defender for the Western District of Texas. Urrutia discovered that Jorge Payan-Vargas, one of Trevino's codefendants, had been represented until November, 1990 by Alfredo Villareal, a fellow assistant federal public defender for the Western District of Texas. By the time Urrutia's representation began, Payan-Vargas had pled guilty, testified at trial for the government, and not filed an appeal. Nevertheless, Urrutia filed a motion with this court seeking to withdraw as attorney of record. For the following reasons, that motion is denied.
