The private complainant in the criminal case had previously sought legal advice from the Public Attorney's Office regarding a matter in the same case, creating a conflict under the rules prohibiting representation of conflicting interests. As such, the Public Attorney requests to withdraw from representing the accused and that all future notices be sent directly to the accused or any new counsel.
