Based on the motion and the file herein, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, no later than July 13, 2010, counsel for Plaintiff Live Eyewear, Inc. shall file a declaration showing cause why their motion for leave to withdraw as counsel of record should not be deferred until after the hearing on Defendant Anand Khubani's motion to dismiss, which is currently scheduled for July 20, 2010. As a corporation, Plaintiff Live Eyewear, Inc. may only appear at that hearing through counsel. See Civil L.R. 3-9(b) ("A corporation, unincorporated association, partnership or other such entity may appear only through a member of the bar of this Court.") Allowing counsel to withdraw just weeks before the hearing, without a simultaneous substitution of counsel, would likely prejudice Plaintiff Live Eyewear OR D E R, page 1
