This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Counsel Ogonna M. Brown’s Motion to

13

Withdraw (ECF No. 113), filed on July 2, 2020. Pursuant to Local Rule (“LR”) IA 11-6, “[n]o

14

attorney may withdraw after appearing in a case except by leave of Court after notice has been

15

served on the affected client and opposing counsel.” See LR IA 11-6(b). Having reviewed the

16

motion, the Court finds that the requirements of LR IA 11-6(b) have been met. Ms. Brown

17

indicates that the professional relationship between plaintiff and counsel has broken down with

18

regard to communications and the strategy of the case. The Court will require that Plaintiff Wynn

19

Holdings, LLC advise the Court if it will retain new counsel by August 14, 2020 as it must retain

20

new counsel if it intends to continue to litigate this matter. See United States v. High Country

21

Broad., 3 F.3d 1244, 1245 (9th Cir. 1993) (per curiam); In re Am. W. Airlines, 40 F.3d 1058,

22

1059 (9th Cir. 1994) (stating that “[c]orporations and other unincorporated associations must

23

appear in court through an attorney.”). Filing a notice of new counsel on or before August 14,

24

2020 is sufficient to comply with the Court’s order. Failure to respond may result in a

25

recommendation to the United States District Judge assigned to this case that dispositive

26

sanctions be issued against Plaintiff Wynn Holdings, LLC, including dismissal of this action.

28

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff Counsel Ogonna M. Brown’s Motion to
Withdraw (ECF No. 113) is granted.
