Case No. 2:17-cv-02052-APG-PAL
Plaintiff,

v.

ORDER
(Mot WD Atty – ECF No. 12)

WAL-MART STORES, INC.,
Defendant.

11
12

This matter is before the court on Paul S. Padda, Michael C. Lafia, and Joshua Y. Ang’s

13

Motion to Withdraw as Counsel of Record for Plaintiff Mack Joseph Miller, II (ECF No. 12). The

14

court has reviewed the motion and Defendant Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. d/b/a Sam’s Club’s Notice of

15

Non-Opposition (ECF No. 13). The motion represents that counsel and plaintiff Miller have a

16

difference in opinion regarding the prosecution of this case that makes counsels’ involvement

17

impractical. Messrs. Padda, Lafia, and Ang therefore seek to withdraw as counsel of record.

18

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

19

IT IS ORDERED that:

20

1. Messrs. Padda, Lafia and Ang’s Motion to Withdraw as Counsel of Record for Plaintiff

21

Mack Joseph Miller, II (ECF No. 12) is GRANTED.

22

2. Plaintiff shall have until September 29, 2017, in which to retain substitute counsel who

23

shall make an appearance in accordance with the requirements of the Local Rules of

24

Practice, or shall file a notice with the court that he will be appearing in this matter pro

25

se.

26

3. Plaintiff’s failure to timely comply with this order by either obtaining substitute

27

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

28

the imposition of sanctions, which may include a recommendation to the District Judge
1

1

that plaintiff’s complaint be dismissed for failure to prosecute. See Fed. R. Civ. P.

41(b).
