Declaration of Anthony P. Capozzi

I, Anthony P. Capozzi, declare that I am an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of California and in good standing. I am counsel of record for Defendant, Charles Elmer Dunn. I have personal knowledge of the facts stated below and could testify competently to them if required.

1. This attorney was appointed to represent the Defendant, Charles Elmer Dunn, on December 11, 2013.

2. On December 18, 2013, this attorney appeared on a Status Conference before the Honorable Sheila K. Oberto.

I further affirm under penalty of perjury, pursuant to the laws of the United States of America, and to the States of California, that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge, as executed on the 19th day of December 2013, in Fresno, California.

ORDER

For the reasons forth above, Defense Counsel's Motion to Withdraw as Attorney of Record is GRANTED.
