Third Party Defendant.

This matter is before the court on the Substitution of Attorneys (Dkt. #39) filed May 5,

14

2014. Craig Delk seeks leave to be substituted in the place of Elizabeth R. Mikesell as counsel

15

for Third Party Defendant Jason Norris. LR IA 10-6(b) provides that no attorney may withdraw

16

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

17

client and opposing counsel. LR IA 10-6(c) provides that any stipulation to substitute attorneys

18

shall also be by leave of court. Additionally, the signature of an attorney to substitute into a case

19

“constitutes an express acceptance of all dates then set for pretrial proceedings, for trial or

20

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

21

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

22

proceedings, discovery, the trial, or any hearing in this case.” Plaintiff filed his complaint in

23

state court, and on September 4, 2013, Defendant HRHH Hotel/Casino, LLC, removed it to this

24

court. See Petition for Removal (Dkt. #1). Discovery closes on August 1, 2014. See Order on

25

Stipulation (Dkt. #37).
Having reviewed and considered the matter, and good cause appearing,
