Doc. 24

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS PINE BLUFF DIVISION ROBERT RAULS and BENITA RAULS v. CASE NO. 5:10-CV-00229 BSM PLAINTIFF

ALLSTATE PROPERTY AND CASUALTY INSURANCE COMPANY ORDER

DEFENDANT

On December 16, 2010, plaintiffs' counsel, Maxie Kizer and Zachary Taylor, moved to withdraw as counsel [Doc. No 21], citing irreconcilable differences with plaintiffs. On December 30, 2010, the motion was held in abeyance for thirty days [Doc. No. 22], during which time plaintiffs were instructed to either obtain new counsel or state their intention to proceed pro se and provide their contact information. The thirty day abeyance has expired, but plaintiffs have not responded. For cause shown, counsels' motion [Doc. No. 21] to withdraw is granted. Because plaintiffs have not provided notice of new counsel or their intention to proceed pro se, the case is dismissed without prejudice. Kizer and Taylor are directed to provide plaintiffs with a copy and explanation of this order. IT IS SO ORDERED this 25th day of February, 2011.
