Case No. 2:12-cv-01376-PMP-CWH
ORDER

12
This matter is before the Court on McCormick, Barstow, Sheppard, Wayte & Carruth, LLP’s
13
Motion to Withdraw as Counsel of Record for Plaintiffs (#18), filed on July 1, 2013. By way of the
14
motion, Dylan P. Todd, Scott Chapman, Wade M. Hansard, and McCormick, Barstow, Sheppard,
15
Wayte & Carruth, LLP request leave of the Court to withdraw as counsel of record for all Plaintiffs.
16
The motion represents that they were retained due to the expertise of Scott Chapman, who is no longer
17
with the firm. Pursuant to Local Rule IA 10-6, “[n]o attorney may withdraw after appearing in a case
18
except by leave of Court after notice has been served on the affected client and opposing counsel.” The
19
motion contains a certificate of mailing to the affected parties. Further, the movant established good
20
cause for the withdrawal. The movant requests sixty days for Plaintiff to obtain new counsel, however,
21
the Court will grant Plaintiffs thirty days to obtain new counsel.
22
Based on the foregoing and good cause appearing therefore,
23
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that McCormick, Barstow, Sheppard, Wayte & Carruth, LLP’s
24
Motion to Withdraw as Counsel of Record for Plaintiffs (#18) is granted with one modification.
25
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Panliant Financial Corporation and A.G. Solutions, Limited
26
shall have thirty (30) days from the date of this order, until August 1, 2013, to advise the Court if they
27
will retain new counsel. These Plaintiffs must retain new counsel if they intend to continue to litigate
28
this matter. A corporation may appear in federal court only through licensed counsel. U.S. v. High
