Case No. 2:13-cv-01611-JAD-PAL
ORDER
(Amd. Mot Subst Atty - Dkt. #31)

13

This matter is before the court on the Amended Motion to Substitute Attorney (Dkt. #31) filed

14

January 17, 2014. It seeks to substitute Elizabeth R. Mikesell of the Law Offices of Clayson and

15

Mikesell, in place of John C. Courtney, as attorney for third party Defendant Jason Norris.

16

LR IA 10-6(c) requires that any stipulation to substitute attorneys shall be by leave of court and

17

shall bear the signature of the attorneys and the client represented. It provides that the signature of an

18

attorney to substitute into a case “constitutes an express acceptance of all dates then set for pretrial

19

proceedings, for trial or hearing, by the discovery plan, or in any court order.” LR IA 10-6(d) also

20

provides that the substitution of an attorney “shall not alone be reason for delay of pretrial proceedings,

21

discovery, the trial, or any hearing in this case.” The Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order (Dkt. #12)

22

was entered August 19, 2013, which gives the parties until February 3, 2014, in which to complete

23

discovery.

24

Accordingly,

25

IT IS ORDERED:

26

1.

Third party Defendant Jason Norris’ request to substitute Elizabeth R. Mikesell of the
