  • holding that the defendant’s pro se motions to withdraw his guilty pleas were legal nullities because he was represented by counsel when he filed them
  • recognizing that defense counsel’s duties toward a client extend for at least the 30 days after the entry of judgment when a notice of appeal may be filed
  • holding that, in the absence of an order permitting withdrawal, legal representation continues, “at a minimum,” through the end of the term of court in which the conviction was entered
  • recognizing that defense counsel’s duties toward a client extend for at least the 30 days after the entry of judgment, the time during which a notice of appeal may be filed
  • rejecting the argument that an amendment filed by new counsel after the term of court expired could render timely a timely-filed but inoperative pro se motion to withdraw guilty pleas
  • rejecting defendant’s argument that representation terminates upon entry of judgment and sentence and holding that it continues for at least 30 days after entry of judgment
