13

This matter is before the court on Defendant Aliante Master Association’s Substitution of

14

Attorneys (Dkt. #27) filed April 11, 2011. It seeks to substitute Kurt Bonds and Marla Davee of

15

Alverson Taylor Mortensen & Sanders in the place and stead of Sean Anderson of Leach Johnson Song

16

& Gruchow. LR IA 10-6(c) requires that any stipulation to substitute attorneys shall be by leave of

17

court and shall bear the signature of the attorneys and the client represented. It provides that the

18

signature of an attorney to substitute into a case “constitutes an express acceptance of all dates then set

19

for pretrial proceedings, for trial or hearing, by the discovery plan, or in any court order.” LR IA 10-

20

6(d) also provides that the substitution of an attorney “shall not alone be reason for delay of pretrial

21

proceedings, discovery, the trial, or any hearing in this case.” This case was removed (Dkt. #1) to

22

federal court on January 18, 2011. There are currently two Motions to Dismiss (Dkt. ##6, 8) pending

23

before the District Judge. Accordingly,

24

IT IS ORDERED Defendant Aliante Master Association’s request to substitute Kurt Bonds
