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withdrawn from the CM/ECF service list in these matters.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.

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

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.
