Case No. 2:14-cv-01676-APG-CWH
ORDER

This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s counsel’s Motion to Withdraw as Attorney (doc.
# 18), filed November 20, 2015.

17

In the instant motion, Plaintiff’s counsel requests leave to withdraw as counsel of record for

18

Plaintiff Ellie Allen. The motion indicates that there has been a breakdown in communication between

19

counsel and Plaintiff, which prevents counsel from effectively representing Plaintiff in this matter.

20

Pursuant to Local Rule IA 10-6, “[n]o attorney may withdraw after appearing in a case except by leave

21

of Court after notice has been served on the affected client and opposing counsel.” The motion

22

indicates that notice was served on the affected parties, including opposing counsel. Further,

23

Plaintiff’s counsel has established good cause for the withdrawal.

24

Based on the foregoing and good cause appearing therefore,

25

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s counsel’s Motion to Withdraw as Attorney (doc.

26
27
28

# 18) is granted.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff Ellie Allen shall have until Friday, December 11,
