Case No. 1:13-cv-91 (WLS)

ORDER
Before the Court is counsel Neil R. Flit’s Motion to Withdraw as Attorney for
Plaintiff Chantae’ S. Peterman. After Defendant removed this case from the State Court
of Dougherty County, Flit moved to withdraw because he is not admitted to practice in
the Middle District of Georgia. The record reflects that attorney Flit complied with the
Court’s local rules regarding notice to his client and the opposing party. The record also
reflects that no one has objected to Flit’s withdrawal. For good cause shown, Flit’s
motion is GRANTED.
Finally, because Plaintiff is now proceeding pro se, the Court deems it
appropriate and necessary to take this opportunity to ensure that Plaintiff is specifically
noticed that, unless and until she retains other counsel, she is required to prosecute her
case and comply with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Local Rules for the
United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia and any Orders of this
Court. Plaintiff is further noticed that her failure to proceed in this case as instructed or
to proceed in violation of the Court’s Orders could result in the Court’s imposition of
sanctions against Plaintiff, including dismissal of the above-captioned case with

1

prejudice. Additionally, Plaintiff must keep the Clerk of Court advised of her address at
all times.
SO ORDERED, this

27th day of September 2013.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
