Previously, the Court denied the Motion to Withdraw [# 84] filed by counsel
for Defendants Bokke, IV, LLC, Marlon Niemand, and James Eley (collectively,

The Court now GRANTS attorneys John Rogers and David Payne leave to
withdraw as attorneys of record in this case for Defendants Bokke, IV, LLC,
Marlon Niemand, and James Eley. The Court DIRECTS the Clerk to remove
Attorneys John Rogers and David Payne as counsel of record in this case. The
Court DIRECTS Defendants Eley and Niemand to either obtain new counsel or
notify the Clerk in writing of their intention to proceed pro se in this case within
twenty (20) days of the entry of this Order. The failure of Defendants Niemand
and Eley to comply with this Order may result in the Court striking Defendants’
answers and directing the clerk to enter default against them.
The Court, however, instructs Defendant Bokke, IV, LLC that as a
corporation it may not proceed pro se in this case and must obtain new counsel
within twenty (20) days of the entry of this Order. If new counsel is not obtained,
the Court will strike its Answer and direct the Clerk to enter default against
Defendant Bokke, IV, LLC. Finally, the Court DIRECTS the Clerk to mail a copy
of this Order to Defendants at the last known address for Defendants as set forth in
this Order.
