11

This matter is before the court on the Substitution of Attorneys (Dkt. #11) filed June 9,

12

2014. Hal Taylor seeks leave to be substituted in the place of John C. Boyden as counsel for

13

Plaintiff Janora A. Winsor. LR IA 10-6 provides that the signature of an attorney to

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

proceedings, discovery, the trial, or any hearing in this case.” In addition, any stipulation to

18

substitute shall only be by leave of court. LR IA 10-6(c). Plaintiff filed a Complaint (Dkt. #1)

19

on March 6, 2014. Plaintiff served the Summons and Complaint on Defendant on May 3, 2014.

20

Having reviewed and considered the matter, and good cause appearing,

21

IT IS ORDERED:

22

1.

The Substitution of Counsel (Dkt. #11) is APPROVED.

2.

Hal Taylor is substituted in the place of John C. Boyden as counsel for Plaintiff
