1.
On September 30, 2016, the Court entered a final judgment in this case. (ECF No.
1057.) The Withdrawing Lawyers have prepared and submitted pleadings responsive to all postjudgment filings of the FTC. The Withdrawing Lawyers also have engaged on behalf of the Relief
4
Defendants in negotiations attempting to resolve the pending Motion for Order Directing Turnover of
5
6
Assets (ECF No. 1059, “Turnover Motion”), the motion for Appointment of a Receiver (ECF No.
7
1064 (filed under seal), “Receiver Motion”), and the oppositions filed thereto. Those negotiations
8
will conclude, successfully or otherwise, prior to November 28, 2016. The Relief Defendants’
9
deadline for filing a notice of appeal is November 29, 2016.
10
2.
The Withdrawing Lawyers have confirmed that the Relief Defendants have other legal
11
12
13
14
15
counsel who will enter an appearance in this case and file a notice of appeal on the November 29,
2016 deadline. The Relief Defendants and new counsel will prosecute that appeal.
3.
With the entry of judgment and with new counsel entering an appearance to advance
the appeal, Relief Defendants’ attorneys Pete Smith and Linda Mcfee will cease representing the
16
Relief Defendants in this case.
17

4.
Notice of the withdrawal of attorneys Pete Smith and Linda Mcfee has been provided
19
to the Relief Defendants, and, as stated in the certificate of service, to opposing counsel. The Relief
20
Defendants consent to the withdrawal.
21
22
5.
Because the Court has entered final judgment (ECF No. 1057), and because new
attorneys are assuming responsibility for any further proceedings in this Court, the withdrawal of
23
attorneys Pete Smith and Linda Mcfee shall not cause any delay of pretrial proceedings, discovery,
24
25
26
27
28
the trial or any hearing in this case.
6.
WHEREFORE, the Relief Defendants and Pete Smith and Linda Mcfee respectfully
move the Court for leave to withdraw.
