Before the court is counsel for plaintiff Potter Law Offices’ Motion to Withdraw as

13

Counsel (ECF No. 89). The motion represents that plaintiff’s counsel recently had major surgery,

14

and is temporarily and physically unable to practice law, and cannot continue representation in this

15

matter. There are only two attorneys in the law firm, and his associate and son is unable to continue

16

representing the plaintiff. As such, the firm seeks leave to withdraw as counsel of record.

17

Currently, there is a fully briefed Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 85) pending before the district

18

judge.

19

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

20

IT IS ORDERED that:

21

1. The Motion to Withdraw (ECF No. 89) is GRANTED.

22

2. Plaintiff shall have until October 25, 2017, in which to retain substitute counsel who

23

shall make an appearance in accordance with the requirements of the Local Rules of

se.
