MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES

2

Local Rule IA 10-6 (b) provides, "No attorney may withdraw after appearing in a case

3

except by leave of court after notice served on the affected client and opposing counsel."

4

Additionally, Local Rule IA 10-6 (e) provides, “[N]o withdrawal or substitution shall be approved if

5

delay of discovery, the trial or any hearing in the case would result.”

6

Ms. Hart has provided notice to Renato Libric’s lead counsel, George E. Kostel, Esq. and

7

Jason Matechak at Impresa Legal Group (who had previously intended to seek permission to

8

appear in this case pro hac vice), of her intent to withdraw on or about May 16, 2018. See Exhibit

9

A, Hart Declaration, at ¶ 3. Such notice was given after Libric not only failed to fulfill the

10

obligations of the engagement agreement he entered with Fennemore Craig, P.C., but also upon Ms.

11

Hart being advised by lead counsel on May 10, 2018, that Mr. Libric was taken into custody and is

12

currently being held in the San Mateo County Jail in California. Ms. Hart has not had any direct

13

communication with Mr. Libric, and such is not possible at this time for the reason set forth above,

14

although a copy of this Motion will be emailed to Mr. Libric at the email address he previously

15

provided.

16
17

Opposing counsel in this case will receive notice of this Motion to Withdraw via the
CM/ECF system, pursuant to the certificate of service below.

18

Withdrawal of Ms. Hart and Ms. Planet and the law firm Fennemore Craig, P.C. will not

19

result in delay of discovery, trial, or any hearings as Mr. Libric has now appeared through new

20

Nevada counsel.
