        "text": "Per Curiam.\nJohn Joplin, a full-time, state-salaried pubriam. in Sebastian County, was appointed by the trial court to represent appellant, Carl Johnson, an indigent defendant, on the charge of murder in the first degree. Following a trial held on November 15, 2002, appellant was found guilty and sentenced to serve forty years in the Arkansas Department of Correction and to pay a fine of $15,000. A timely notice of appeal was filed with the circuit clerk, pursuant to Ark. R. App. P. \u2014 Crim. 10, and the record was timely lodged in this court.\nMr. Joplin now asks to be relieved as counsel for appellant in this criminal appeal, based upon the cases of Rushing v. State, 340 Ark. 84, 8 S.W.484 (2000) (holding that full-time, state-salaried public defenders were ineligible for compensation for their work on appeal) and Tester v. State, 341 Ark. 281, 16 S.W.3d 227 (2000) (per curiam) (relieving appellant\u2019s court-appointed public defender and appointing new counsel on appeal).\nSince the time of those decisions, the law was changed by the General Assembly. Act 1370 of 2001 provides in part: \u201c[PJersons employed as full-time public defenders, who are not provided a state-funded secretary, may also seek compensation for appellate work from the Arkansas Supreme Court or the Arkansas Court of Appeals.\u201d That provision is now codified as Ark. Code Ann. \u00a7 19-4-1604(b)(2)(B) (Supp. 2001).\nMr. Joplin\u2019s motion states that he is provided with a full-time, state-funded secretary. Accordingly, we grant his motion to withdraw as attorney. Mr. Tim Cullen will be substituted as attorney for appellant in this matter. The Clerk will establish a new briefing schedule.",
