VICTOR WOODARD,

ORDER VACATING SETTLEMENT
CONFERENCE

Plaintiff,

GREGORY J. AHERN,

Defendant.

The Court is in receipt of a Motion to Withdraw as Counsel, filed by counsel to

18

Plaintiff Victor Woodard. See dkt. 77. In the Motion, counsel asserts that “a complete and

19

irreparable breakdown in communication has arisen between Counsel and Mr. Woodard and

20

that further representation would be ineffective for Mr. Woodard’s case.” Id. at 2. The

21

Court will not now rule on the Motion, which is calendared for September 2, 2011.

22

However, the Court notes that in light of the Motion, the settlement conference now

23

calendared before Magistrate Judge Vadas for August 19, 2011 is no longer appropriate.

24

Accordingly, the Court VACATES the settlement conference, and will re-set it once the

25

issues raised in the Motion to Withdraw have been resolved.

26

IT IS SO ORDERED.
