ENTERED BY MAGISTRATE JUDGE KRISTEN L. MIX
This matter is before the Court on the Motion to Withdraw From Representation
of Defendant, Dr. Jasjot Johar [Docket No. 25; Filed September 20, 2013] (the “Motion”),
filed by Attorney Erik G. Fischer (“Fischer”). As an initial matter, the Motion does not
comply with D.C.COLO.LCivR 7.1A, which provides as follows:
The Court will not consider any motion, other than a motion under Fed. R.
Civ. P. 12 or 56, unless counsel for the moving party or a pro se party, before
filing the motion, has conferred or made reasonable, good faith efforts to
confer with opposing counsel or a pro se party to resolve the disputed matter.
The moving party shall state in the motion, or in a certificate attached to the
motion, the specific efforts to comply with this rule.
The Motion is subject to denial on this basis alone. Nevertheless, in the interest of
expedience,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion [#25] is GRANTED. Attorney Fischer is
relieved of any further representation of Defendant Dr. Jasjot Johar in this case. The Clerk
of the Court is instructed to terminate Attorney Fischer as counsel of record, and to remove
his name from the electronic certificate of mailing. Defendant Dr. Jasjot Johar shall
continue to be represented by Attorneys Gordon Hadfield, Barbara Grandjean, and
Christopher Brady.
