ORDER DENYING AS
WITHDRAWN MOTIONS FOR
PERMISSION FOR
ELECTRONIC CASE FILING

v.
MICROSEMI, et al.,
Defendants.
/

17

On May 9, plaintiffs in this terminated civil action filed requests to substitute themselves

18

for their attorney of record, Dennis Kennelly, and moved for permission for electronic case

19

filing (Dkt. Nos. 131–34). A prior order set these matters for hearing on June 8 and required

20

that plaintiffs attend the hearing in person (Dkt. No. 136). Today, plaintiffs filed a “Dismissal

21

without prejudice of ECF Access Motion” that stated, “both Plaintiffs do formally dismiss

22

without prejudice and withdraw their Pro Se ‘motion for ECF Access’ and in so doing do

23

formally waive the June 8th Hearing Date.” The “Dismissal” also reiterated their request to

24

remove Attorney Kennelly as counsel of record (Dkt. No. 142).

25

Pursuant to plaintiffs’ new filing, their motions for permission for electronic case filing

26

(Dkt. Nos. 131, 133) are DENIED AS WITHDRAWN. Plaintiffs’ requests to remove Attorney

27

Kennelly and proceed pro se, however, remain set for hearing on JUNE 8 AT 8:00 A.M. in

28

Courtroom 8 on the 19th floor of the San Francisco courthouse. To repeat, plaintiffs shall
attend the hearing in person. This order also serves as additional notice to Attorney Kennelly

1

that the hearing remains scheduled for June 8, and it would be of service to the Court if he

2

would attend (see Dkt. No. 141). Again, allowance of this hearing in no way suggests that, if

3

substitution of counsel is permitted, this closed case will be reopened.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
