UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SAVANNAH DIVISION
VALLAMBROSA PLANTATION,
LLC, JERRY WILLIAMS, and
TAMMY LEE WILLIAMS,
Plaintiffs,
v.

CV415-202

DAVID SIKORSKY and MARY
SIKORSKY,
Defendants.

ORDER
On September 21, 2015, this Court granted defendants’ motion to
stay this case, pending the conclusion of defendant David Sikorsky’s
related criminal case. Doc. 28. On November 22, 2016, he notified the
Court of the conclusion of that case. Doc. 29. Accordingly, the parties’
joint motion to lift the stay, doc. 31, is GRANTED . Since the deadlines
established by the Scheduling Order (doc. 17) were mooted by the stay,
the parties shall confer and, within 14 days of the date that this Order is
served, propose an amended Scheduling Order.
Meanwhile, defendant Mary Sikorsky’s counsel, Johnathan J.
Hunt, has moved this Court to withdraw. Doc. 30. Although his motion

refers to “Uniform Superior Court Rule 4.3,” and erroneously requests
an Order directing “the Clerk of Chatham County Superior Court,” to
remove him as counsel, id. at 1, 6, Mary states that she no longer wishes
him to represent her, id. at 3, ¶ 3. Accordingly, Hunt’s motion to
withdraw, doc. 30, is GRANTED . Ms. Julie Wade, who appears in this
case as David Sikorsky’s counsel, has signed the parties’ motion to lift
the stay on behalf of both defendants.

See doc. 31 at 2. The Clerk is,

therefore, DIRECTED to enter her appearance on behalf of defendant
Mary Sikorsky. See L.R. 83.6(a) (“The filing of any pleading shall, unless
otherwise specified, constitute an appearance by the person who signs
such pleading.”).

SO ORDERED , this 8th day of February, 2017.
