Citation: 2014 Ark. 11Docket: CR-13-1006
Court: Supreme Court of Arkansas; January 15, 2014; Arkansas; State Supreme Court
Original Court Document: View Document
Rolandis Larenzo Chatmon was convicted of three counts of aggravated robbery and theft of property with a firearm enhancement in Faulkner County Circuit Court. He was sentenced as a habitual offender to three consecutive life sentences plus thirty years. His appellate counsel, Karen Walker, requested to be relieved from her duties, citing ineligibility for compensation due to her full-time employment as a public defender with a state-funded secretary, as per Arkansas Code Annotated section 19-4-1604(b)(2)(B). The court found her request to be valid, referencing the case Rhodes v. State. The court granted both Walker's motion to withdraw and Chatmon's motion for appointment of new counsel, appointing attorney Bobby R. Digby II to represent him and ordering a new briefing schedule for the appeal.
