Plaintiff,
v.
ORDER
DARRYL L. PARRISH; ADVANCED
TRAILER SALES AND SERVICE, LLC;
and DOES 1-10,
16
Defendants.

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.

Absent a statement of good cause, Corfee’s ex parte application (ECF No. 12) is
DENIED without prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
