Opinion
No. M1986-00093-SC-OT-DD.
Filed: August 15, 2006.
ORDER
On July 17, 2006, this Court set an execution date for Edward Jerome Harbison of October 11, 2006, and appointed the Office of the Post-Conviction Defender (PCD) to represent Harbison in this matter. On August 8, 2006, the PCD filed a Motion to Withdraw as Counsel, in which it alleges that the PCD has never represented Harbison before at any stage of his litigation, that it would require six months to prepare to represent Harbison adequately, and that the PCD "simply does not have enough staff or time to represent Mr. Harbison in the relevant time frame."
Upon due consideration, the Motion is DENIED; however, to afford sufficient time for adequate representation, the execution date for Edward Jerome Harbison is re-set to the twenty-second day of February, 2007.
