Case No. 2:11-cv-01875-RCJ-PAL
ORDER
(Substitution of Counsel - Dkt. #58)

13
14

This matter is before the court on a Substitution of Attorneys (Dkt. #58). It seeks to substitute

15

LeAnn Sanders in the place and stead of Tomas V. Mazeika as counsel for Third-Party Defendant

16

Brasscraft Manufacturing Company. LR IA 10-6(c) requires that any stipulation to substitute attorneys

17

shall be by leave of court and shall bear the signature of the attorneys and the client represented. It

18

provides that the signature of an attorney to substitute into a case “constitutes an express acceptance of

19

all dates then set for pretrial proceedings, for trial or hearing, by the discovery plan, or in any court

20

order.” LR IA 10-6(d) also provides that the substitution of an attorney “shall not alone be reason for

21

delay of pretrial proceedings, discovery, the trial, or any hearing in this case.” This case was removed

22

to this court on November 21, 2011. There is currently a Motion to Consolidate and Transfer (Dkt.

23

#53) pending before the district judge. Accordingly,

24

IT IS ORDERED that Third-Party Defendant Brasscraft Manufacturing Company’s request to

25

substitute LeAnn Sanders in the place and stead of Tomas V. Marzeika is GRANTED, subject to the

26

provisions of LR IA 10-6(c) and (d).
