Plaintiff,

v.

ORDER
(Mot WD Atty – ECF No. 65)

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, et al.
Defendants.

11

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

12

Hac Vice Counsel (ECF No. 65). The motion represents that plaintiff’s pro hac vice counsel

13

recently had brain surgery, is temporarily physically unable to practice law, and cannot continue

14

representation in this matter. There are only two attorneys in the law firm, and his associate who

15

is his son is unable to continue representing the plaintiff as pro hac vice counsel. As such, the firm

16

seeks leave to withdraw as pro hac vice counsel of record on behalf of attorney Ralph M. Rios for

17

plaintiff Federico Rodriguez. Plaintiff is also represented by Gilbert Geilim whose pro hac vice

18

counsel is Jared B. Anderson. As plaintiff is still represented by counsel, the withdrawal will cause

19

no delay in this matter.

20

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

21

IT IS ORDERED that:

22

1. Cal J. Potter, III and Cal J. Potter, IV’s Motion to Withdraw (ECF No. 65) as pro hac

23

vice counsel is GRANTED.
2. Attorney Ralph M. Rios shall have until November 1, 2017, in which to obtain pro hac
vice counsel.
DATED this 18th day of October, 2017.
