On June 1, 2011, attorneys Ryan K. Yagura and Vision L. Winter, co-counsel for

20

Defendants Belkin International, Inc. and Belkin, Inc. (collectively “Belkin”), filed a notice of

21

withdrawal as counsel. See Dkt. #130. However, Civil Local Rule 11-5(a) states: “Counsel may

22

not withdraw from an action until relieved by order of Court after written notice has been given

23

reasonably in advance to the client and to all other parties who have appeared in the case.”

24

It is not clear to the Court whether counsel have provided noticed and received consent to

25

withdraw from Belkin. Accordingly, the attorneys seeking withdrawal should file an

26

administrative motion briefly explaining their request to withdraw and informing the Court of
