ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO WITHDRAW
This cause comes before the Court on Attorney’s Motion to Withdraw
From Representation of Plaintiff Rodelin Dempaire (doc. 133). Counsel states
that she has been unable to locate Plaintiff and cannot proceed with Plaintiff’s
claims against Defendants. Counsel indicates that she has provided at least ten
days’ notice to Plaintiff, as required by Local Rule 11.1(F), and no
communication or objection was received in response. The local rule also
requires that 10 days’ notice be provided to the other counsel of record. The
motion to withdraw was filed on April 23, 2012 using the CM/ECF system which
sends a notice of electronic filing to counsel of record. Accordingly, the other
counsel of record have received the required notice. Upon consideration, it is
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED:

1.

The Attorney’s Motion to Withdraw From Representation of Plaintiff
Rodelin Dempaire (doc. 133) is granted.

2.

Attorney Amanda Caldwell and Florida Rural Legal Services are
relieved of further responsibility as counsel for Plaintiff in this case.

3.

The clerk shall send a copy of this order to Plaintiff Rodelin
Dempaire, 831 NW 4th Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33311, by
certified mail with return-receipt requested.

4.

On or before May 23, 2012, Plaintiff Rodelin Dempaire shall
respond to this order by (1) filing a notice of appearance by his new
lawyer, (2) filing a request for more time to find a new lawyer along
with an explanation of why additional time is needed, or (3) filing a
written notice stating that he will proceed pro se, that is, to
represent himself in this case.

DONE AND ORDERED this 10th day of May, 2012.
