Alaska R. Crim. P. 50

(a) Appearance by Counsel—Withdrawal. In all

criminal actions, counsel retained to represent the accused

shall, immediately after being retained, file with the clerk a

formal written appearance. The Rules of Civil Procedure

relating to the withdrawal of an attorney for a party shall apply

to attorneys retained to represent an accused in a criminal

action. If review is sought of a final judgment in a criminal

case or a final order resolving a post-conviction relief action,

counsel will not be permitted to withdraw unless a different

attorney has entered the case or until the notice of appeal or

petition and the initial documents required to be filed under

Appellate Rule 204(b), Appellate Rule 215(c), or Appellate

Rule 403(h) have been accepted for filing by the clerk of the

appellate courts as provided in Appellate Rule 517.1(f)(1)(A),

or unless the appellate court otherwise allows.

(b) Civil Rules to Apply. All other provisions of the

Rules of Civil Procedure relating to attorneys, regarding

examining witnesses, counsel as a witness, non-resident

attorneys, and disbarment and discipline, shall apply to

practice in criminal actions in the courts of the state.

(c) Penalties. After giving the attorney reasonable notice

and an opportunity to be heard, the court may impose against

any attorney a fine not to exceed $500.00 for failure to comply

with these rules or any other rules of court.
