Charles Smith, counsel for plaintiff James Johnson, has filed a motion to withdraw as
18
counsel from each of the above-captioned actions. Both actions are closed. All that remains to
19
be done is a judgment debtor exam in Case No. 11-0092. (Magistrate Judge Sallie Kim had
20
scheduled said judgment debtor exam for August 16, but Johnson did not appear.)
21
Nevertheless, Johnson has apparently asked Attorney Smith to withdraw “because [Johnson] no
22
longer has confidence in [Attorney Smith] and desires [to] proceed in propia persona.”
23
Attorney Smith has seen these cases through this far and can stick around for the judgment
24
debtor exam. His motions to withdraw are DENIED.

26
IT IS SO ORDERED.
