Martinez v. United Parcel Service, Inc.

Filing 41

ORDER by Magistrate Judge William P. Lynch denying 37 Motion to Withdraw. (ph)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW MEXICO

ALEX G. MARTINEZ,
Plaintiff,
v.

16cv1127 SCY/WPL

UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC.,
Defendant.

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO WITHDRAW
Plaintiff’s counsel filed an Unopposed Motion to Withdraw as Attorney in Charge on
May 29, 2017. (Doc. 37.) I entered an Order to Cure on June 1, 2017, giving counsel until June
14, 2017, to refile the motion to comply with D.N.M.LR-Civ 83.8(a)’s requirement that a motion
to withdraw contain either a “notice of appointment of substitute attorney” or “statement of the
client’s intention to appear pro se and the client’s address and telephone number.” (Doc. 40.) The
deadline to refile has passed, and a review of the docket reveals that Plaintiff’s counsel has not
refiled the motion. Given counsel’s non-compliance, his motion to withdraw is denied.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
