Matthew E. Orso,

Case No. 2:23-cv-01608-JAD-DJA
Plaintiff,

Order

v.
Todd Disner and Samuel Timpson,
Defendants.

Before the Court is Nationwide Judgment Recovery Inc.’s motion to substitute attorney

12

(ECF No. 4) and motion for writ of execution (ECF No. 5). The Court denies the motion to

13

substitute. Under Local Rule IA 11-6(c), “[a] stipulation to substitute attorneys must be signed by

14

the newly-appearing attorneys, the withdrawing attorneys, and the represented client and be

15

approved by the court.” Here, Nationwide’s motion to substitute attorney is not signed by

16

Plaintiff Matthew E. Orso. While Nationwide states in the motion to substitute that it is the

17

assignee of Orso, it provides no further explanation and there is nothing on the docket indicating

18

that Orso has assigned his interests in this case. The Court also denies the motion for writ of

19

execution. The plaintiff identified in the writ (Nationwide) is not the plaintiff identified in the

20

judgment papers (Orso). Compare ECF No. 1 with ECF No. 5.
