17

substitute their current counsel of record, Douglas V. Thornton, Esq., of the law firm Perkins, Mann

18

& Everett, and represent themselves in propria persona. (Doc. 78.) Counsel Robert W. Branch,

23

Mr. Branch will be terminated as counsel of record for Plaintiffs and Plaintiffs will be substituted

as representing themselves in propria persona.

Plaintiffs' substitution request is GRANTED;
