to

consider whether it was intended that the November 17, 2014 “last

hearing date for a motion” prescribed in the May 2, 2014 Status

27

Order governs the withdrawal motion Plaintiff’s attorney seeks to

28

file and have heard. (See Status Order 2:5-10.) Since that is

unclear, the withdrawal motion Plaintiff’s counsel seeks to file

is not considered governed by that deadline.

Since the relief requested has not been shown to be

necessary, Plaintiff’s ex parte motion is denied.
