Plaintiff,

v.

10

(Subst Atty – ECF No. 136)

CLARK COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT, et
al.,

11

ORDER

Defendants.

12

This matter is before the court on the Substitution of Attorneys Within Firm (ECF No.

13

136). The law firm of Littler Mendelson seeks leave to substitute Hilary B. Muckleroy in the place

14

of Ethan D. Thomas for defendants. LR IA 11-6(b) provides that “[n]o attorney may withdraw

15

after appearing in a case except by leave of the court after notice has been served on the affected

16

client and opposing counsel.” LR IA 11-6(c) provides that the signature of an attorney to substitute

17

in a case “constitutes an express acceptance of all dates then set for pretrial proceedings, for trial

18

or hearing, by the discovery plan, or in any court order.” LR IA 11-6(d) also provides that the

19

substitution of an attorney “shall not alone be reason for delay of pretrial proceedings, discovery,

20

the trial, or any hearing in this case.”

21

Having reviewed and considered the matter,

22

IT IS ORDERED that:

23

1. The Substitution of Attorneys Within Firm (ECF No. 136) is GRANTED.

24

2. Hilary B. Muckleroy is substituted in the place of Ethan D. Thomas for defendants,

25
26

subject to the provisions of LR IA 11-6(b), (c) and (d).
DATED this 12th day of September, 2018.
