ORDER REGARDING HEARING ON
MOTION TO WITHDRAW AS
COUNSEL
Re: Dkt. No. 164

Hyang Bae Whang, Seon Geun Whang, and Kyu Chuk Whang (“Whang Clients”) are

13

represented in this action by Kathleen N. Strickland (“Attorney Strickland”), Stephan Choo

14

(“Attorney Choo”), Devin C. Courteau (“Attorney Courteau”), and the law firm Ropers, Majeski,

15

Kohn, & Bentley, PC (“Ropers Firm”). Dkt. Nos. 34, 164. On April 21, 2017, Attorney

16

Strickland, Attorney Choo, and the Ropers Firm filed a motion to withdraw as counsel of record

17

for the Whang Clients. Dkt. No. 164. The deadline for oppositions has passed and the motion is

18

unopposed. On the case docket, Attorney Courteau is still listed as representing the Whang

19

Clients. However, the motion to withdraw makes no mention of him. See id.

20

The motion hearing is scheduled for June 15, 2017, at 2:00 p.m., and will be held in

21

camera, outside the presence of all other parties. The Court ORDERS only Attorney Strickland,

22

Attorney Choo, and the Whang Clients to appear, and DIRECTS them to be prepared to explain

23

the basis for the motion, as well as the status of Attorney Courteau.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
