a defendant only upon written motion for good cause shown. If another
attorney is to be substituted as attorney for the defendant, the motion

withdrawing attorney must include the defendant's last known address
and a statement indicating whether the defendant consents to the withdrawal.
If defendant does not consent to the withdrawal, the attorney also
must affirm that the defendant has been informed of the right to object
to the motion.

attorney shall immediately forward the notice of hearing, all additional
information about settings and deadlines, and any discovery obtained
for the case to a self-represented defendant or to the substitute
attorney for a defendant who is represented.
