____________________________________/

17

Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-1(b), the motion of Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan LLP

18

(“Quinn Emanuel”) for leave to withdraw from representation of defendant Fusion Garage PTE.

19

Ltd. in this matter is suitable for disposition without oral argument, and the hearing set for January

20

19, 2012 is vacated. Plaintiffs have filed a statement indicating that they do not oppose the motion,

21

but requesting the imposition of certain conditions. Good cause appearing, the motion is granted,

22

and Quinn Emanuel is hereby relieved from further representation of Fusion Garage in this action.

23

Fusion Garage is advised that it cannot appear in this action except through counsel, and that

24

it must obtain new counsel no later than February 1, 2012. In the event new counsel has not entered

25

an appearance by that date, Fusion Garage shall appear and show cause on February 9, 2012 at 1:30

26

p.m., why its answer should not be stricken and its default entered.

27
28

In the event Fusion Garage retains new counsel, the parties shall thereafter promptly meet
and confer to resolve any outstanding discovery and case management issues, including developing

1

a plan for further alternative dispute resolution. The discovery responses previously due on

2

December 16, 2011, shall be exchanged as promptly as possible after Fusion Garage’s retention of

3

new counsel, but in any event no later than 20 days after that date.

4

Quinn Emanuel is directed to make reasonable efforts to provide Fusion Garage a copy of

5

this order and to ensure that it understands the potential consequences of any failure to obtain new

6

counsel by February 1, 2012. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 11-5(b), until new counsel has entered

7

an appearance, any papers to be served on Fusion Garage may be served on Quinn Emmanuel for

8

forwarding purposes.
