ORDER
Amparo Guerra Judge
Alexander M. Gurevich of the Law Offices of Alexander M. Gurevich, PC, has filed a motion for leave to withdraw as appellate counsel for appellees, Jorge Gonzalez Rocha and Kirk Gipson. See TEX. R. APP. P. 6.5(a), (b). The motion requests leave to withdraw because the representation of appellees "has been rendered unreasonably difficult due to the . . . lack of communication and lack of cooperation" with counsel.
The motion complies with the requirements of Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 6.5. See TEX. R. APP. P. 6.5(a), (b). Further, the motion includes a certificate of conference representing that no party is opposed to the relief requested in the motion. See TEX. R. APP. P. 10.1(a)(5), 10.3(a)(2).
Accordingly, the motion is granted. The Clerk of this Court is directed to note the withdrawal of Alexander M. Gurevich of the Law Offices of Alexander M. Gurevich, PC as counsel for appellees on the docket of this Court.
Alexander M. Gurevich is directed to immediately notify appellees of "any deadlines or settings that [he] knows about at the time of withdrawal but that were not previously disclosed" to appellees and file a copy of the notice provided to appellees with the Clerk of this Court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 6.5(c)
It is so ORDERED.
