Pending before the Court is the Motion to Withdraw as Attorney of Record and Request for

15

Extension of Time (ECF No. 131) filed by Plaintiff’s Counsel. In the Motion, Counsel states he is

16

suffering from a medical condition that will not allow him to continue his representation of

17

Plaintiff. Counsel also explains that he has received a one year suspension from the State Bar of

18

Nevada. Plaintiff represents that he seeks a 90 day stay of proceedings to allow him time to retain

19

new counsel who will also need time to review the case. The Court finds there is an appropriate

20

reason to grant Plaintiff and his counsel’s requests without delay.
