He shouldn't. In addition to my private practice I do court appointed attorney work as well. A court appointed attorney could only withdraw from a case after making a motion to withdraw and having the motion granted by the trial court judge.

Additionally, the court appointed attorney could theoretically motion the court without notifying the client only if the attorney was not able to get ahold of the client and if the client did not properly inform his attorney of his address or phone number to get in touch with him.
