Before the Court is appellate counsel's July 17, 2017 motion to withdraw. The motion states that counsel must withdraw because of a conflict of interest, specifically having represented a State's witness in the case.

We GRANT the July 17 motion. Christian T. Souza is REMOVED as counsel of record for appellant.

We ORDER the trial court to appoint new counsel to represent appellant in this appeal. We further ORDER the trial court to transmit to this Court, within THIRTY DAYS of the date of this order, a supplemental clerk's record with the order appointing new counsel.

We ABATE this appeal to allow the trial court to comply with the above order. The appeal shall be reinstated thirty days from the date of this order or when the supplemental clerk's record containing the order appointing new counsel is filed, whichever is earlier.
