that a new appearance has been filed in place

of the appearance of such attorney or party

in accordance with Section 62-8.

(b) An attorney may, by motion, seek to with -

draw his or her appearance for a party or parties

Sections 66-2 and 66-3. The brief or memorandum of law accompanying the motion shall comply

with Section 23-41 (b) or 43-35 in form and sub -

stance. The transcript of the relevant proceedings

shall be filed concurrently with the motion to

withdraw.

randum of law shall be delivered to the petitioner

or defendant. Counsel shall deliver a notice that a

that a copy of the motion and supporting brief or

memorandum of law has been delivered to the

petitioner or defendant.

shall file a copy of the letter with the appellate

clerk. The trial court’s decision shall be sealed

and may be reviewed pursuant to Section 66-

6. Subsequent motions regarding the trial court’s

decision on the motion to withdraw appointed

counsel shall also be filed under seal.
