On September 9, 2013, the Court conducted a hearing on the Layfield Law Firm’s Motion to

20

Withdraw as attorney of record in this case. At the hearing, Counsel indicated that there has been an

21

irreparable breakdown in communication with their client Plaintiff Jeannette Sanchez. Based on these

22

representations, the Court permitted Plaintiff’s Counsel to withdraw from this case. Plaintiff is hereby

23

advised that she no longer has an attorney to represent her in this case. While Plaintiff may choose to

24

continue to represent herself, the Court strongly recommends that she obtain a new attorney to handle

25

this litigation on her behalf.

26

Accordingly, the Court sets a status conference in this matter for Tuesday, October 23, 2013

27

at 9:00 a.m. in Department 8 of this Court (BAM). Plaintiff Jeanette Sanchez is directed to appear at

28

the conference in person. At the conference, Plaintiff Jeanette Sanchez shall be prepared to discuss
1

1

whether she has hired new counsel, or in the alternative, whether she will proceed in pro per in this

2

matter. The Court intends to select a date for a scheduling conference and Plaintiff must be prepared to

3

proceed in case, either with or without counsel.

Plaintiff is advised that failure to appear at the status conference in person may result in
