RAJ ABHYANKER,

ORDER SETTING BRIEFING
SCHEDULE ON MOTION TO
WITHDRAW

Defendant.

United States District Court
Northern District of California

I have been assigned the Motion to Withdraw as Counsel filed by defendant Raj

14

Abhyanker’s counsel in this matter. I will have no other responsibility in this case, and so

15

disclosure to me of the facts that form the basis of the motion to withdraw will not compromise

16

Abhyanker’s case. Accordingly, I ORDER Abhyanker’s counsel to file under seal, by July 2,

17

2014, a declaration setting forth the factual basis for their belief that they are ethically required to

18

withdraw. If each lawyer has a different basis for asserting that he or she needs to withdraw,

19

separate declarations are necessary. They may also submit further authority for their position if

20

they wish, but that is not necessary. The declaration(s) and other pleadings, if any, shall be served

21

on Mr. Abhyanker, who may file a response under seal by July 7, 2014. I will hold a hearing ex

22

parte, in camera, on July 10, 2014 at 9 a.m. in Courtroom 2, 17th floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue,

San Francisco, California.
