v.
(Subst Counsel – Dkt. #314)
KEVIN MIRANDA, et al.,
Defendants.

12

Before the court is the Substitution of Counsel for Tina Zuniga (Dkt. #314) filed

13

September 18, 2015. On September 3, 2015, counsel for Defendant Tina Zuniga withdrew from

14

representation of Ms. Zuniga due to claims being dismissed against her in her official capacity as

15

an employee of CCDC. Defendant Zuniga had “until September 23, 2015, in which to retain

16

counsel who shall make an appearance in accordance with the requirements of the Local

17

Rules of Practice, or to file a notice with the court that he/she will be appearing in this matter

18

pro se” to represent her in her individual capacity in this matter. (Emphasis added).

As counsel for Zuniga was already granted permission to withdraw, the court will
construe the motion as a notice of appearance. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that the Substitution of Counsel (Dkt. #314) is construed as a Notice
of Appearance on behalf of Defendant Tina Zuniga.
DATED this 21st day of September, 2015.
