This matter is before the court on the motion of Carl F. Schoeppl and his firm, Schoeppl & Burke, P.A. to withdraw as counsel for the defendant Gerald Parker (Filing No. 251) and the motion of David R. Chase and the Law Office of David R. Chase, P.A. to withdraw as counsel for the defendant Peter Kirschner (Filing No. 253). Mr. Schoeppl states there is good cause for the withdrawal and filed an affidavit (Filing No. 252) in support of his motion. Similarly, Mr. Chase states there is good cause for the withdrawal and filed an affidavit (Filing No. 254) in support of his motion.
