Case No. 2:13-cv-00483-RCJ-PAL
ORDER
(Mtn to Withdraw - Dkt. #42)

12
13

This matter is before the court on a Motion to Withdraw (Dkt. #42) filed May 5, 2013. David B.

14

Porter seeks to withdraw as counsel of record for Plaintiff Theodore F. Lee. The Motion represents that

15

Plaintiff will continue to be represented by George P. Kelesis and Edward E.O.C. Ord. Local Rule IA

16

10-6 provides that “no withdrawal . . . shall be approved if delay of discovery, the trial or any hearing

17

in the case would result.” Plaintiff filed the Complaint (Dkt. #1) on August 29, 2012, in the United

18

States District Court for the Northern District of California. This case was transferred to this court on

19

March 21, 2013. See (Dkt. #38). It is an action to quash an IRS summons. In a written Order (Dkt #

20

36) the district judge denied Defendant’s motion to dismiss and granted a motion to transfer this case to

21

this district finding the action could have been filed here and it is in the interests of justice to transfer

22

rather than dismiss the case.

23

Having reviewed and considered the matter, and for good cause shown,

24

IT IS ORDERED:

25

1.

26

Porter is withdrawn from further representation of Plaintiff in this action.

27
28

The Motion to Withdraw as Counsel of Record (Dkt. #42) is GRANTED. David B.
