Val Hornstein and Michael D. Morris of the Hornstein Law v. JOHN LAXTON, aka johnlaxton@gmail.com, et al., Defendants. / CRS RECOVERY, INC., a Virginia Corporation, and DALE MAYBERRY, Plaintiffs, No. C 06-7093 CW ORDER CONCERNING DISCHARGE OF COUNSEL FOR DEFENDANTS JOHN LAXTON AND NORTHBAY REAL ESTATE, INC. IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA Offices, counsel for Defendants John Laxton and Northbay Real Estate, Inc., did not appear. Messrs. Hornstein and Morris have filed a notice stating that Laxton and Northbay have discharged them as counsel. Because Messrs. Hornstein and Morris are currently counsel of record in this action, they must file a motion or stipulation and proposed order for leave to withdraw as counsel; their notice is not sufficient. See Civ. L.R. 11-5(a). If leave to withdraw is granted, Laxton and Northbay will be without representation. Although Laxton may represent himself, he cannot appear on behalf of Northbay because he is not an attorney. See United States v.
