Mr. Schneiders and Mr. Cartmell's motion is accompanied by certification that counsel notified plaintiff in writing of the status of her case, and included information about orders and deadlines.

Counsels' communications outlined the urgency and importance of plaintiff's obligations in this litigation. Plaintiff has been non-responsive. Therefore, there is good cause for withdrawal.
