ORDER
This matter is before the Magistrate Judge on attorney Luke Anderson’s June 21,
2012 notice of substitution of counsel (doc. 19). The notice does not comply with Rule
83.4(c)(1) of the Southern District of Ohio Civil Rules, which states in relevant part:
Substitution of a new trial attorney. The current trial attorney may
withdraw either from the case or from the designation as trial attorney by
filing a notice that is signed by (1) the current, withdrawing trial attorney;
(2) the client; and (3) a new, substituting trial attorney. If the substituting
trial attorney is a member of the same partnership, legal professional
association, or governmental attorney group as the trial attorney to be
substituted for and the notice affirmatively states that the substitution is
made with the client's knowledge and consent, the client's signature is not
required.
S.D. Ohio Civ. R. 83.4(c)(1). Counsel is DIRECTED to file a notice that complies with
Rule 83.4(c)(1).
