Case No. 2:16-cv-02671-KJD-CWH
ORDER

13

Presently before the court is attorney Carrie E. Hurtik’s motion to withdraw as counsel for

14

plaintiff Kieth C. Shelstad (ECF No. 61), filed on October 9, 2018. No responses to the motion

15

were filed.

16

Ms. Hurtik moves to withdraw, arguing Mr. Shelstad has failed to respond to her

17

correspondence or to provide her with an updated telephone number, making it impossible for her

18

to continue representing Mr. Shelstad. Ms. Hurtik represents that she has sent Mr. Shelstad

19

correspondence via certified mail and that a copy of the motion was served on Mr. Shelstad by

20

United States mail at his last known address. Mr. Shelstad did not oppose the motion, which

21

constitutes a consent to the granting of the motion under Local Rule 7-6(d).

22

Having reviewed and considered the motion, and good cause appearing, the court will grant

23

the motion to withdraw. Mr. Shelstad must file a notice advising the court whether he will

24

represent himself or proceed pro se by November 20, 2018. Mr. Shelstad is advised that unless and

25

until he retains a new attorney, he is responsible for all deadlines and other matters in this case.

26

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Carrie E. Hurtik’s motion to withdraw as counsel for

27

plaintiff Kieth C. Shelstad (ECF No. 61) is GRANTED.
