This matter is before the court on the Stipulation and Proposed Order on Substitution of

12

Counsel (Dkt. #324) filed February 3, 2015. James M. Lord seeks leave to be substituted in the

13

place and stead of Steven Martin Aaron and Gregory T. Wolf, and for Martin L. Walsh to remain

14

as local counsel on behalf of Defendant Credit Payment Services, Inc. LR IA 10-6 provides that

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

17

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

18

reason for delay of pretrial proceedings, discovery, the trial, or any hearing in this case.”

Having reviewed and considered the matter, and good cause appearing,

IT IS ORDERED that:

21

1. The Stipulation and Substitution of Counsel (Dkt. #324) is APPROVED, and
