Before the Court is the Motion of Melissa N. Armstrong [“Armstrong”] to Withdraw as

Counsel of Record for Defendant Cal-Western Reconveyance LLC [“Cal-Western”], filed

20

May 19, 2015.

Under the Local Rules of this District, “[c]ounsel may not withdraw from an action

22

until relieved by order of Court after written notice has been given reasonably in advance to

24

Although the docket indicates Armstrong has provided notice of the motion, either by mail

25

or through the ECF system, to all other parties who have appeared in the action, there is no

26

entry in the docket reflecting such notice to the client.

Accordingly, Armstrong is hereby DIRECTED to provide to defendant Cal-Western
written notice of the above-referenced motion to withdraw and to file, no later than June 5,

1

2015, proof of such service.1

IT IS SO ORDERED.

According to Armstrong, Cal-Western has ceased doing business and has filed an
Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors in Florida state court. (See Armstrong Decl. ¶¶ 56.) Under such circumstances, it would appear sufficient service could be accomplished by
mailing Armstrong a copy of the motion to the address Cal-Western has provided to the
state court, or, if no such address has been provided, to its last known address.
