        "text": "Per Curiam.\nJohn Joplin, a full-time, state-salaried public defender in Sebastian County, was appointed by the trial court to represent Appellant Arthur Dickerson, a/k/a Bolden, an indigent defendant, on the charge of first-degree murder. Following a trial, he was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. Joplin timely filed a notice of appeal and has timely lodged the record in this court.\nJoplin now moves to withdraw as counsel on appeal, based on this court\u2019s case of Rushing v. State, 340 Ark. 84, 8 S.W.3d 489 (2000), which held that full-time, state-salaried public defenders were ineligible for compensation for their work on appeal. Since, Rushing, the General Assembly has passed legislation providing that only those full-time, state-salaried public defenders who do not have state-funded secretaries may seek compensation for their work on appeal. See Ark. Code Ann. \u00a7 19-4-1604(b)(2)(B) (Supp. 2003).\nJoplin states in his motion that he is provided with a full-time, state-funded secretary to engage in his day-to-day office operations. Accordingly, he would not be eligible for compensation for appellate work, and we grant his motion to withdraw. It is not necessary for us to appoint substitute counsel at this time, as Ben Beland is the attorney of record for this appeal, and he has not filed a motion to withdraw. Appellant\u2019s pro se motion for appointment of counsel is therefore moot.\nIt is so ordered.",
