WAYNE PINOLI,

ORDER CONTINUING HEARING
AND ALLOWING WITHDRAWAL
OF COUNSEL

Plaintiff,
v.
ONEWEST BANK F.S.B. ET AL,
Defendants.

/

17

Counsel for Plaintiff Wayne Pinoli seeks permission to withdraw as counsel because,

18

he asserts, Plaintiff “is not cooperating or communicating” with him. See dkt. 42 at 1.

19

Counsel also asks the Court to continue the motion hearing (now set for September 30, 2011)

20

for 120 days so that Plaintiff can obtain new counsel. See generally dkt. 41. The Court notes

21

that the motion hearing was already continued, from September 2, 2011, in light of Plaintiff’s

22

representation that the parties had agreed to dismiss the case. See dkts. 35, 38. Accordingly,

23

although the Court finds good cause for allowing counsel to withdraw, and GRANTS that

24

request, it only CONTINUES the motion hearing until December 2, 2011 to allow Plaintiff to

25

obtain new counsel or to coordinate with Defendants about dismissing the case.

26

IT IS SO ORDERED.
