13

of the Law Offices of Karl H. Smith seeks leave to be substituted in the place of David J. Feldman

14

of The Feldman Firm for defendant. LR IA 11-6(b) provides that “[n]o attorney may withdraw

17

in a case “constitutes an express acceptance of all dates then set for pretrial proceedings, for trial

18

or hearing, by the discovery plan, or in any court order.” LR IA 11-6(d) also provides that the

19

substitution of an attorney “shall not alone be reason for delay of pretrial proceedings, discovery,

20

the trial, or any hearing in this case.”

22

IT IS ORDERED that:

1. The Substitution of Attorney (ECF No. 21) is GRANTED.
