17 Civ. 7066 (JPC)
ORDER

JOHN P. CRONAN, United States District Judge:
On June 3, 2022, Troy Law, PLLC, counsel for Plaintiff Genxiang Zhang, filed a letter
requesting that the Court grant counsel “leave to file a motion to withdraw as to plaintiff Genxiang
Zhang due to his non-cooperation with plaintiff[s’] counsel.” Dkt. 170.
It is hereby ORDERED that counsel for Plaintiff Genxiang Zhang shall appear in person
for a conference on June 14, 2022, at 3:00 p.m. in Courtroom 12D of the Daniel Patrick Moynihan
United States Courthouse, 500 Pearl Street, New York, NY 10007, to discuss counsel’s anticipated
motion to withdraw. At that conference, counsel for Plaintiff Genxiang Zhang shall be prepared
to discuss the following:
•

Counsel’s efforts to contact Plaintiff Genxiang Zhang, including the method and frequency
of their efforts;

•

Whether the remaining Plaintiffs still intend to proceed as to their pending motions for
damages and attorneys’ fees against the defaulting Defendants;

•

Counsel’s views as to how the Court should address Plaintiff Genxiang Zhang’s pending
motions for damages and attorneys’ fees against the defaulting Defendants;

•

Whether counsel intends to assert a retaining or charging lien in connection with their
application to withdraw as counsel for Plaintiff Genxiang Zhang; and

Case 1:17-cv-07066-JPC Document 171 Filed 06/07/22 Page 2 of 2

•

Why it is appropriate for Troy Law, PLLC to withdraw as counsel for Plaintiff Genxiang
Zhang at this juncture, especially in light of the fact that this case has been pending for
nearly five years.
SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 7, 2022
New York, New York
