The Court will take the motion to withdraw under submission after the filing of the declaration. Counsel is further advised that the Court will not consider a motion to withdraw as counsel without such declaration or other statement giving good cause for the withdrawal; therefore, in the future counsel should not move to withdraw without simultaneously requesting permission to file under seal, and filing under seal, a declaration supporting the motion to withdraw. IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: Feb. 12, 2009 CHARLES R. BREYER UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
