pursuant to the statement made in the brief in support of this motion, counsel has

expressed an opinion that in each case on appeal counsel is of the opinion that

the appeal in each case is frivolous. This withdrawal is not sought for delay but

required by the cases cited in the brief in support of this motion .

A copy of this motion has been delivered to Demarcus Jermane Sampson.
