ORDER

12
This matter is before the Court on Defendant’s counsel James M. DeVoy’s Motion to
13
Withdraw (#19), filed September 13, 2011. The Court has reviewed the motion and finds that
14
the requirements of LR IA 10-6(b) have not been met. Although Mr. DeVoy has consulted with
15
the affected client, LR IA 10-6(b) requires that “notice” of this motion be served on “the affected
16
client and opposing counsel.” There is no indication that notice of this motion has been served
17
on the affected client. Accordingly,
18
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant’s counsel James M. DeVoy’s Motion to
19
Withdraw (#19) is denied without prejudice.
20
DATED this 14th day of September, 2011.
