UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

Doreen W.B.
v.

Civil No.

11-cv-36-JL

MWV Healthcare Assoc., Inc.,
et al.
O R D E R
While not wishing to make too much of this, or be unduly
harsh, the court is beginning to feel "jerked around."
Plaintiff's counsel did not provide the information contained in
his supplemental motion to withdraw (in particular, that the
plaintiff "has refused to respond to communications from [him]
during the past few weeks") to the court previously, either in
his original motion to withdraw or, for that matter, during the
telephone conference just last week on the defendants' motion to
continue the trial.

The filing from the defense side

(specifically its characterization as an "emergency") is equally
perplexing.
In any event, if the plaintiff desires, she shall file a pro
se response to Attorney Slawsky's motion (doc. no. 42) on or
before May 15, 2013.
L.R. 83.11(a)(3).

This filing shall be made under seal.

See

If the plaintiff fails to respond, Attorney

Slawsky's motion will be granted.

If the plaintiff retains new

counsel to represent her in this matter, he or she shall file a
notice of appearance immediately.

In the meantime, the court has

little choice but to remove this case from the July trial
calendar.
SO ORDERED.
