Counsel for defendant Wise Media, LLC, has filed a motion to withdraw as counsel. The

25

motion states that “Durie Tangri has repeatedly asked both Wise and [Mobile Messenger

26

Americas] to retain replacement counsel. MMA refuses to do so, and Wise Media has not done

27

so.” First, Attorneys Joseph B. Woodring, Michael G. Rhodes, Mazda K. Antia of Cooley LLP

28

filed notices of appearances as counsel for Mobile Messenger Americas, Inc., in February 2013.
Durie Tangri should clarify whether they are currently the sole counsel of record in this action

1

for Mobile Messenger Americas, Inc. Second, Durie Tangri should update the Court as to

2

whether Wise Media has retained substitute counsel. Counsel should be aware that it will be of

3

importance to the Court to know who will represent Wise Media, as a corporation without

4

counsel will be in default. Durie Tangri should file an update by AUGUST 8.
