M.R.U. Crim. P. 44B
WITHDRAWAL OF COUNSEL
Counsel may withdraw from a case by serving notice of withdrawal on
his or her client and the State and filing the notice, provided that such notice is
accompanied by notice of the appearance of other counsel. Unless this
condition is met, counsel may withdraw from the case only by leave of court.
A court order relieving counsel does not become effective until either new
counsel is appointed or has entered an appearance, or the court determines
that the defendant has expressly waived the right to counsel, impliedly waived
that right by conduct, or forfeited that right.
