                           MOTION FOR WITHDRAWAL OF COUNSEL

         This Motion for Withdrawal of Counsel is brought by Jan Holeywell-Smith, who
is attorney of record for John Crear. Jan Holeywell-Smith requests the Court to grant her
permission to withdraw as attorney for John Crear in this case. In support, Jan Holeywell-
Smith shows:

       Good cause exists for withdrawal of Jan Holeywell-Smith as counsel, in that John
Crear no longer wishes to retain Jan Holeywell-Smith as his attorney of record.

       A copy of this motion has been delivered to John Crear, who is hereby notified in
writing of his right to object to this motion. John Crear provided written notice to the
undersigned counsel of her request that she withdraw via email. The last known address
of John Crear is 1046 Masters Ln., Snellville, GA 30078.

       There are no pending settings or deadlines, including discovery deadlines, in this
case. Respondent, John Crear, has filed a notice of appeal of the Court’s decision to the
Court of Appeals. Petitioner has requested that the issues in this case be mediated with
Vickie Alexander.
