Case No.: 1:12-cv-0556 - AWI-JLT
ORDER CONSTRUING THE MOTION TO
WITHDRAW AS A NOTICE OF APPEARANCE
BY THOMAS A. SAENZ (Doc. 75)
ORDER DIRECTING THE CLERK OF COURT TO
UPDATE THE DOCKET AND DESIGNATE
THOMAS A. SAENZ AS LEAD ATTORNEY AND
AN ATTORNEY TO BE NOTICED

17

On August 23, 2018, Plaintiffs’ counsel Miranda Galindo requested “to withdraw her

18

appearance for the reason that she has accepted other employment and is no longer employed by the

19

Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund.” (Doc. 75 at 2) Ms. Galindo asserts that

20

“Thomas A. Saenz will continue to represent the Plaintiffs in this matter.” (Id.)

21

Significantly, Mr. Saenz has not filed a notice of appearance on behalf of Plaintiffs in this

22

action, and Plaintiffs have not indicated their consent to counsel such that the Court may construe the

23

document as a substitution of counsel. Therefore, instead, the Court construes the motion to be a

24

notice of appearance by Mr. Saenz.
