This cause comes before the Court on the Fourth Motion to Withdraw as

has provided at least ten days’ notice to all parties as required by Local Rule
11.1(F), and has provided the Court with his client’s address for service of future
papers. Upon consideration, it is
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED:

counsel for Plaintiff in this case.

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
