PER CURIAM
Appellant Joe McKinley Jones has appealed from the revocation of his suspended
sentence, which resulted in a twenty-seven-year prison term. The record was lodged on
November 5, 2010, making appellant’s brief due on December 15, 2010.
On the same day appellant’s counsel tendered the record to the clerk of this court for
filing, he filed a motion to withdraw as the attorney of record. In his motion, appellant’s
counsel stated that he represented appellant as a courtesy in the proceedings below, and that
he was not paid for his services. Appellant’s counsel has represented in his motion that he has
provided appellant with the necessary forms to proceed as an indigent on appeal. Mr. Jones
has yet to file anything with this court, although he proclaimed himself to be indigent in his

We reserve ruling on counsel’s motion to withdraw, and we grant leave for Mr. Jones
to file an affidavit of indigency and motion for appointment of counsel within thirty days of
this per curiam. The time for filing appellant’s brief is stayed until receipt of Mr. Jones’s
affidavit and motion or the expiration of thirty days.
