Defendant.

This matter comes before the Court on Todd M. Friedman’s motion to withdraw as
14 counsel for Plaintiff Heidy Kirsch. The record demonstrates that Kirsch has not
15 communicated with Friedman since at least June 18, 2012, and she has also failed to respond
16 to his motion to withdraw. The Court therefore finds good cause to GRANT Friedman’s
17 motion. See, e.g., Cal. Rule of Prof’l Conduct 3-700(C)(1)(d) (allowing counsel to withdraw
18 if the client “renders it unreasonably difficult for [counsel] to carry out the employment
19 effectively”). However, pursuant to Civil Local Rule 11-5(b), Friedman’s withdrawal is
20 conditional, and papers shall “continue to be served on counsel for forwarding purposes,
21 unless and until the client appears by other counsel or pro se.” Civ. L.R. 11-5(b). Friedman
22 must notify Kirsch of this condition by mailing a copy of this order to her and filing a proof
23 of service with the Court no later than August 31, 2012.
24
In addition, Kirsch is HEREBY ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE as to why this case
25 should not be dismissed. If Kirsch does not file a written response to this order on or before
26 October 1, 2012, this case will be dismissed for failure to prosecute. If she needs assistance
27 on how to file a document with the Court, she may consult the Court’s website at
28 http://www.cand.uscourts.gov/proselitigants or contact the Legal Help Center, operated by
1 the Volunteer Legal Services Program of the Bar Association of San Francisco, at
