SEAN ABID,
Defendant.

12

Before the court is Lance Maningo’s Motion to Withdraw as Counsel (ECF No.

13

71). He represents defendant Sean Abid. The motion states that Mr. Abid is experiencing financial

14

hardship, is unable to pay counsel and wants to proceed pro se, that is, represent himself. Mr.

15

Maningo therefore seeks leave to withdraw as counsel of record.

16

Having reviewed and considered the matter, and for good cause shown,

17

IT IS ORDERED:

18

1.

Mr. Maningo’s Motion to Withdraw (#71) is GRANTED.

19

2.

Defendant Sean Abid shall have until January 5, 2018 in which to either retain

20

substitute counsel who shall make an appearance in accordance with the

21

requirements of the Local Rules of Practice, or to file a notice with the court that

22

he will be appearing in this matter pro se.

23

3.

Defendant Sean Abid’s failure to timely comply with this order by either obtaining

24

substitute counsel, or filing a notice that he will be appearing in this matter pro se

25

may result in the imposition of sanctions, which may include a recommendation to

26

the District Judge for default judgment.
