RULE 3.1
                      RIGHT TO AND ASSIGNMENT OF ATTORNEY


     (g)  Appearance of Attorney.  Attorneys representing defendants in
criminal cases as a retained attorney must serve prompt written notice of their
appearance upon the prosecuting attorney and file the same with the clerk of
the court.

     (h)  Motions to Withdraw from Criminal Cases.  Whenever an attorney seeks
to withdraw from representation in a criminal case, the attorney shall file a
written Motion to Withdraw.  All such Motions shall be supported by an
Affidavit of Counsel setting forth the reason(s) for the request.  If the basis
of the Motion to Withdraw is prior representation of a potential witness
against the current client, the Affidavit of Counsel shall set forth when the
prior representation occurred, the charge(s) involved in the prior
representation and what, if any, privileged information the attorney has
regarding the prior client that creates a current conflict of interest. If
setting forth the reason(s) for the Motion To Withdraw requires disclosure of
client confidences or secrets or other matters protected by the attorney-client
privilege, the attorney shall also file a Motion to Seal Affidavit of Counsel
and provide the Court with a proposed Order Sealing Affidavit of Counsel.
