1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 9 EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 11 SCOTT JOHNSON, 12 13 14 15 No. 2:14-cv-02045-MCE-CKD Plaintiff, v. ORDER DARRYL L. PARRISH; ADVANCED TRAILER SALES AND SERVICE, LLC; and DOES 1-10, 16 Defendants. 17 18 On March 9, 2015, Catherine M. Corfee filed a motion to withdraw as counsel of 19 record for Defendant Advanced Trailer Sales and Service, LLC (“Defendant”). The 20 motion is currently set for a hearing on April 16, 2015. On March 11, 2015, Corfee 21 submitted an ex parte application requesting that the court advance that hearing to 22 March 19, 2015. 23 Corfee has certainly explained the basis for her motion: although she and 24 Defendant mutually agreed that she would cease working on this case on November 17, 25 2014, and although Defendant is also currently represented by Charles L. Hastings, 26 Defendant has not responded to Corfee’s requests to complete a Substitution of 27 Attorneys. Corfee, however, has failed to establish good cause for advancing the 28 hearing date of her motion. Her representations that she “does not anticipate 1 1 Defendant” opposing the motion and that she “does not want to be responsible for this 2 matter” are insufficient. 3 4 5 6 Absent a statement of good cause, Corfee’s ex parte application (ECF No. 12) is DENIED without prejudice. IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: March 12, 2015 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 2
