                        LCrRLJ 3.1(e)
                    WITHDRAWAL OF LAWYER


     No withdrawal of a lawyer after a case has been set for
trial will be recognized by the court, except for cause deemed
sufficient by the court.  Approval of withdrawal may, if
necessary to prevent a continuance, be denied, and such attorney
be required to proceed with the trial.

     All counsel shall be automatically terminated as counsel of
record upon entry of a sentence on a guilty plea or at the
conclusion of the thirty-day appeal period following sentencing
as a result of a conviction after trial or upon entry of an order
deferring prosecution, an order granting diversion, an order
deferring sentence, a dispositional order of continuance, or any
final disposition which is appealable.
