    Uploaded by

    Lee Stranahan
    An attorney representing Annette Bosworth in a court case has withdrawn from representing her. The attorney, Brandon Taliaferro, filed a motion to withdraw stating that Bosworth did not fulfill her obligations to him as her attorney. The motion cites a rule that allows attorneys to withdraw if a client fails to fulfill financial or other obligations to the attorney. The judge has yet to rule on the motion. Bosworth was initially represented by a different attorney and Taliaferro's representation of her was notable given his past clashes with the Attorney General who is now prosecuting Bosworth.

    Bosworth attorney withdraws from case
    David Montgomery, [email protected] 5:27 p.m. CDT July 18, 2014
    Just days after representing Annette Bosworth in court and releasing a statement
    (/story/davidmontgomery/2014/07/15/bosworth-stranahan/12674341/) distancing Bosworth from former
    spokesman Lee Stranahan, Brandon Taliaferro is withdrawing as Bosworth's attorney.
    Taliaferro says Bosworth hasn't fulfilled her obligations to him as her attorney.
    In his motion, he asks the judge to let him withdraw because of Rule 1.16(b)(5)
    (http://www.sdbar.org/rules/rules.shtm) of the South Dakota Bar Association's Rules of Professional Conduct.
    That rule says attorneys can stop representing someone if "the client fails substantially to fulfill an obligation to
    the lawyer regarding the lawyer's services and has been given reasonable warning that the lawyer will withdraw unless the obligation is fulfilled."
    The motion, filed Thursday at the Hughes County Clerk of Courts, doesn't go into detail about what obligation Bosworth didn't fulfill.
    The judge has yet to rule on Taliaferro's request to withdraw.
    Taliaferro was not Bosworth's first attorney. She was initially represented by Sioux Falls attorney Jeff Beck.
    Taliaferro was a notable pick for her attorney because he has clashed with Attorney General Marty Jackley before. He was investigated by Jackley's
    Division of Criminal Investigation for alleged witness tampering, charges that were later thrown out. Jackley's office is now prosecuting Bosworth for
    alleged felony election law violations.
