ORDER

This matter is before the court on the motion of James R. Welsh (Filing No. 22) to
withdraw as counsel for the plaintiff Mahdi Bayat. The movant states there is a lack of
communication with Mr. Bayat and a disagreement on the terms of representation. The
movant served a copy of the motion on Mr. Bayat. See Filing No. 22. The court allowed
the plaintiff an opportunity to respond to counsel’s motion and/or obtain substitute counsel.
See Filing No. 23. The plaintiff did not file any response or objection. The court finds good
cause exists to allow Mr. Welsh to withdraw as counsel for the plaintiff. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED:
1.

James R. Welsh’s motion to withdraw (Filing No. 22) is granted.

2.

Mahdi Bayat is hereby considered proceeding pro se and counsel for the

defendants may communicate with the plaintiff directly regarding this case.
