26

Defendant United States, under LR IA 11-3 and LR IA 11-6, respectfully requests that

28

in this case. J. Cole Hernandez will remain an attorney of record.

The United States Department of Justice appointed Dennis C. Bastron to serve as Special

3

Attorney in this case on November 6, 2017, see Doc. 57-1 at 2-3, to take the place of Katherine V.

4

Foss. He is permitted to practice before this Court because this motion is brought “by the

5

employing federal entity.” LR IA 11-3; see also LR IA 11-6(c) (requiring approval from the client).

6

The substitution of Dennis C. Bastron for Katherine V. Foss will not delay pretrial proceedings,

7

trial, or hearings. See LR IA 11-6(c). Thus, this Court should allow Dennis C. Bastron to be

8

substituted in Katherine V. Foss’s place and terminate Katherine V. Foss as an attorney of record.

9

Respectfully submitted on November 30, 2017.
