MOTION TO CONFIRM DISASSOCIATION AND WITHDRAWAL OF COUNSEL SAMBO DUL

Case 2:17-cv-02666-JCM-GWF Document 69 Filed 01/17/19 Page 2 of 4

1

Plaintiffs, NORA LUNA, BILAL SHABAZZ, DIANE CRUMP-RICHMOND, SUSAN

2 FLORIAN, and DEMI FALCON (collectively, “Plaintiffs”), hereby move the Court for entry of
3 an order removing Sambo Dul, Esq. from the case as attorney of record for Plaintiffs and from
4 all service lists. Effective January 25, 2019, Sambo Dul, Esq. is no longer affiliated with Perkins
5 Coie LLP. Because Wolf, Rifkin, Shapiro, Schulman & Rabkin, LLP and Perkins Coie LLP still
6 represent Plaintiffs as lead counsel, no parties are prejudiced by the withdrawal of Sambo Dul,
7 Esq.
8

In support of this motion, Plaintiffs state the following:

9

1.

On November 3, 2017, Plaintiffs filed Sambo Dul’s Verified Petition to Practice

10 Pro Hac Vice. See ECF No. 16.
11

2.

On November 6, 2017, this Court granted Sambo Dul’s Verified Petition to

12 Practice Pro Hac Vice. See ECF No. 19.
13

3.

Local Rule IA 11-6(b) provides, “No attorney may withdraw after appearing in a

14 case except by leave of the court after notice has been served on the affected client and opposing
15 counsel.”
16

4.

Plaintiffs have received notice of Ms. Dul’s intent to withdraw from this case.

17 Opposing counsel will receive notice of this motion via the CM/ECF system.
18

5.

Local Rule IA 11-6(e) provides, “[N]o withdrawal or substitution will be

19 approved if it will result in delay of discovery, the trial, or any hearing in the case.”
20

6.

No delay of any kind will result from Ms. Dul’s withdrawal because Wolf, Rifkin,

21 Shapiro, Schulman & Rabkin, LLP and Perkins Coie LLP, and their counsel who have
22 previously appeared in this proceeding, still represent Plaintiffs as lead counsel.
