Plaintiff,
ORDER

v.

A2Z CONNECTION, LLC, et al.,

10

Defendants.

12

Presently before the court is Adam J. Breeden’s motion to withdraw as attorney for

13

defendant Amier Qureshi (ECF No. 115), filed on April 9, 2019. No responses to the motion

14

were filed.

15

Breeden moves to withdraw for business reasons as well as other reasons that he

16

represents he cannot disclose without breaching the attorney-client privilege. Breeden argues the

17

withdrawal will not delay the proceedings as there are no upcoming hearings, discovery does not

18

close until June 20, 2019, and there is not a trial setting. Breeden also represents that he

19

attempted to propound and answer written discovery before withdrawing to avoid any delays.

20

The motion includes a certificate of service stating that a copy of the motion was served on

21

Qureshi by United States mail on April 9, 2019. Qureshi did not oppose the motion, which

22

constitutes a consent to the granting of the motion under Local Rule 7-6(d).

23

Having reviewed and considered the motion, and good cause appearing, the court will

24

grant the motion to withdraw. Qureshi must file a notice advising the court whether he will

25

represent himself or retain an attorney by May 24, 2019. Qureshi is advised that unless and until

26

he retains a new attorney, he is responsible for all deadlines in this case.

28

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Adam J. Breeden’s motion to withdraw as attorney
for defendant Amier Qureshi (ECF No. 115) is GRANTED.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Breeden must serve a copy of this order as well as the

1
2

scheduling order (ECF No. 90) on Qureshi and must file proof of that service by May 1, 2019.

3

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that by May 24, 2019, Qureshi must file a written notice

4

stating whether he intends to represent himself in this case. This requirement will be

5

automatically vacated if a new attorney enters an appearance on behalf of Qureshi by May 24,

6

2019.
