Case Number 5:09-cv-04482-JF/HRL ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF'S RENEWED MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION [re: document no. 92]

On July 16, 2010, the Court granted the motion to withdraw as counsel of record brought by Plaintiff's counsel, Mr. Dorton. Plaintiff subsequently contacted the Court and stated that he opposed the motion but had not received notice of the motion in time to respond. The Court set the matter for rehearing on August 13, 2010. The Court heard argument from both Mr. Dorton and Plaintiff on that date. On September 3, 2010, the Court issued an order denying Plaintiff's motion for reconsideration of the Court's July 16 order permitting Mr. Dorton to withdraw. On September 16, 2010, Plaintiff filed the instant renewed motion for reconsideration, which totals ninety-two pages including exhibits. It is clear from a review of this document that Plaintiff and Mr. Dorton have serious communication problems, and that a dispute exists regarding the payment of legal fees. Plaintiff has failed to demonstrate that he will be prejudiced Case Number 5:09-cv-04482-JF/HRL
