Conduct 3-700(C) governing the permissive withdrawal of an attorney from the representation of
a client. Alternatively, new counsel may substitute in to this case as counsel for Plaintiff.
WHEREAS counsel for Defendant DON LAWSON agreed to give Plaintiff some
additional time to respond to key written discovery in light of this potential withdrawal by
Plaintiff’s current counsel, a delay which has set back follow up discovery and depositions in this
case, so the current deadlines set in the Order need to be modified to allow defense counsel a full
and fair opportunity to conduct written discovery and take the necessary depositions, and to allow
time for Plaintiff and/or his new counsel a full and fair opportunity to conduct written discovery
and take the necessary depositions.
WHEREAS the parties have met and conferred in good faith and have agreed to the
following modification to the dates set in the Order (ECF Doc. 82) as follows:


13

Discovery related to certain dispositive motions will be completed by January 23,
2015.



Initial dispositive motions will be filed no later than March 13, 2015.
