WARM SPRINGS RESERVE OWNERS ASSOCIATION, et al. Defendants. 17 Before the court are H. Sunny Jeong’s Ex Parte Motions to Withdraw and Remove 18 Counsel from Service List. Ms. Jeong advises that, while affiliated with the law firm of Lipson, 19 Nielson, Cole, Seltzer & Garin, P.C. (“LNCSG”), she previously represented each Defendant 20 listed in the above-entitled cases. Ms. Jeong is no longer affiliated with LNCSG, and as such, no 21 longer represents the above-named Defendants in each case. She therefore requests that she be 22 withdrawn from the CM/ECF service list in these matters. None of the parties will be prejudiced 23 by this withdrawal as they are all still represented by counsel. 24 Ms. Jeong’s motions do not provide the legal authority for the ex parte filing or explain 25 the need for filing ex parte, i.e., filed with the court but not served on the opposing or other 26 parties. See LR IA 7-2(a). Nothing in the Local Rules of Practice or the Federal Rules of Civil 27 Procedure permit Ms. Jeong’s request to be filed as ex parte communications. See LR IA 7-2(b). 28 Some lawyers call their motions for relief ex parte when they are the only party requesting relief 2     1 from the court. However the Local Rules define an ex parte request as a “motion or application 2 that is filed with the court but not served on opposing or other parties.” Id. It appears the 3 motions were filed ex parte in error. As such, the Clerk of the Court will be instructed to unseal 4 Ms. Jeong’s motions. 5 Having reviewed and considered the matter, 6 IT IS ORDERED that: 7 1. The Ex Parte Motions to Withdraw and Remove Counsel from Service List are 8 9 10 11 GRANTED. 2. The Clerk of the Court shall UNSEAL each of the Ex Parte Motions and make them available on the court’s public docket. DATED this 9th day of August, 2016. 12 13 PEGGY A. LEEN UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 3
