Curtin, Rachel L. Werner, and Gordon Rees Scully Mansukani, LLP (collectively “Defense

18

for Defendant James D. Noland, Jr. (Doc. 86) and Defendants Success By Media Holdings

19

20

in another pending case, Federal Trade Commission v. Noland, No. CV-20-00047-PHX-

21

DWL, where a similar motion to withdraw has been filed. An order issued today in that

22

case resolves the issues, and the analysis in that order is incorporated here.

23

Accordingly,

24

IT IS ORDERED that Defense Counsel’s motions to withdraw as counsel of record

25

(Docs. 86, 89) are granted. The Receiver shall be substituted as counsel of record for

26

Success By Media Holdings Inc. and Success by Media LLC. Noland shall proceed pro se

27

unless and until he retains new counsel. His contact information is as follows:
