Appellant Porter is represented on appeal by Ben A. Beland, a public defender. Mr. Beland now asks to be permitted to withdraw as counsel on the ground that he is ineligible for compensation for services as appellate counsel.\nAct 1370 of 2001, codified as Ark. Code Ann. \u00a7 19-4-1604(b)(2)(B) (Supp. 2001), provides that persons employed as full-time public defenders who are not provided a state-funded secretary are eligible to seek compensation for appellate work. Counsel here avers that he is a full-time public defender with a full-time state-funded secretary. Under these circumstances, he is not entitled to be paid for his services in this appeal and his request to be relieved is well founded.\nWe grant Mr. Beland\u2019s motion to withdraw and appoint attorney David L. Dunagin to represent the appellant. Our clerk is directed to set a new briefing schedule for the appeal.\nMotion granted.",
