Case No. 2:12-cv-00725-MMD-GWF
ORDER

This matter is before the Court on the Substitution of Counsel (#15) regarding the

15

representation of Defendant Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. The substitution is signed

16

by Lyssa S. Anderson, Esq. on behalf of the client and by the two law firms involved in the

17

substitution of counsel. The Court assumes from the substitution that Ms. Anderson has changed

18

law firms and will continue to represent the Defendant in this case through her new law firm.

19

Nevertheless, it does not appear possible for her to be the client and the representative of both law

20

firms in regard to the substitution of counsel. Defendant is directed to submit a substitution that

21

comports with LR IA 10-6(c). Accordingly,

22
23
24

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Substitution of Counsel (#15) is denied, without
prejudice to file a substitution that is executed in conformity with the rules.
DATED this 8th day of June, 2012.
