Before the court is Plaintiff’s Motion to Withdraw as Counsel of Record for Plaintiff Fernando
11

Haro, III. (ECF No. 17).
12

Discussion:
13

Under Local Rule 7-2(d), [t]he failure of an opposing party to file points and authorities in response
14

to any motion shall constitute a consent to the granting of the motion. Here, no opposition has been filed
15

and the time to oppose has passed.
16

Pursuant to Local Rule IA 11-6(b), “[n]o attorney may withdraw after appearing in a case except
17

by leave of [c]ourt after notice has been served on the affected client and opposing counsel.” “Except for
18

good cause shown, no withdrawal or substitution shall be approved if delay of discovery, the trial or any
19

hearing in the case would result.” LR IA 11-6(e). Nevada Rule of Professional Conduct 1.16(a)(3)
20

provides that a lawyer may withdraw if the “[t]he lawyer is discharged.” Here, based on counsel’s
21

representation that Plaintiff Haro wishes to proceed pro se, the Court permits counsel to withdraw. (ECF
22

No. 17-1 at 2) LR IA 11-6(b); NRPC 1.16(a)(3). The Court finds that permitting counsel to withdraw
23

would not result in delay. LR IA 11-6(e). Discovery has not commenced. No hearing has been scheduled
24

and trial date has not been determined.
