Sarah Boone sent a letter to the Sixth District Court of Appeal expressing frustration with her court-appointed appellate attorney, David Maldonado, accusing him of relinquishing his duties by refusing to review or file a reply brief in response to the state's opposition. Attached to her filing was a correspondence from her attorney, in which he explained that he prefers written communication, lacks the time and resources for additional calls, and determined that a reply brief and oral arguments were unnecessary for her appeal. The breach of attorney-client privilege by submitting this letter to the court suggests the appellate court will likely ignore her request for guidance, rule on the existing briefs, or prompt her attorney to file a motion to withdraw.
