Presently before the Court is Respondent Counsel Kimball’s Motion to Withdraw as
Counsel (ECF No. 66), filed on January 8, 2021.
Pursuant to Local Rule (“LR”) IA 11-6, “[n]o attorney may withdraw after appearing in a

13

case except by leave of Court after notice has been served on the affected client and opposing

14

counsel.” See LR IA 11-6(b). Having reviewed the motion, the Court finds that requirements of

15

LR IA 11-6(b) have not been met. No certificate of service was included to verify that notice was

16

given to Wright Thurston. Nevertheless, the Court understands that Thurston is unlikely to have

17

any role in this matter. As he has not been dismissed however, Kimball is required to serve a

18

copy of his motion to withdraw on Thurston and provide the Court with Thurston’s last known

19

address, phone number, and email address so he can be listed as pro se with that contact

20

information on the docket.

DATED: January 19, 2021.
