The appellate court quashed the orders.  It agreed with the First District and the Fifth District that Regional Counsel is not subject to appointment to represent indigent defendants in postconviction proceedings.  See Deen v. Wilson, 1 So.3d 1179 (Fla. 5th DCA 2009) and Office of Criminal Conflict and Civil Regional Counsel, First District, 19 So.3d 447 (Fla. 1st DCA 2009).  "In Deen, 1 So. 3d 1179, the Fifth District considered orders in four trial court cases that had appointed Regional Counsel to represent defendants in postconviction proceedings and had denied Regional Counsel's motions to withdraw.  The court examined the creation of the Office of Regional Counsel and the duties set forth in the enabling statute.  The court recognized that Regional Counsel's 'authority to represent criminal defendants in post-conviction proceedings is not set forth as an assigned duty in section 27.511(5), Florida Statutes (2008).'  Id. at 1182.  It determined that the postconviction court's orders 'assigned new duties to Regional Counsel beyond those established by the Legislature,' and that Regional Counsel's appointment constituted a departure from the essential requirements of law.  Id. at 1183."  Office of Criminal Conflict and Civil Regional Counsel, Second District v. Smith, 33 So.3d 105 (Fla. 2d DCA 2010).
