Glenn Hagele's attorney, Jonathan Sasser, cited the following provisions of North Carolina Rules of Professional Conduct in his motion to withdraw as counsel: 1.16(b(3) 1.16(b)(4) 1.16(b(5)
Here's the text of the rules:
__________________________________________________________
Rule 1.16 Declining or Terminating Representation
(a) Except as stated in paragraph (c), a lawyer shall not represent a client or, where representation has commenced, shall withdraw from the representation of a client if:
(1) the representation will result in violation of law or the Rules of Professional Conduct;
(2) the lawyer’s physical or mental condition materially impairs the lawyer’s ability to represent the client; or
(3) the lawyer is discharged.
(b) Except as stated in paragraph (c), a lawyer may withdraw from representing a client if:
(1) withdrawal can be accomplished without material adverse effect on the interests of the client; or
(2) the client knowingly and freely assents to the termination of the representation; or
(3) the client persists in a course of action involving the lawyer’s services that the lawyer reasonably believes is criminal or fraudulent; or
(4) the client insists upon taking action that the lawyer considers repugnant, imprudent, or contrary to the advice and judgment of the lawyer, or with which the lawyer has a fundamental disagreement; or
(5) the client has used the lawyer’s services to perpetrate a crime or fraud; or

Let me translate this into plain English: Hagele's own attorney is claiming that Glenn Hagele engages in criminal conduct.
