ORDER
Before the Court are Plaintiffs’ first and second motions to continue the hearing set to
consider the unopposed motions to withdraw filed by Plaintiffs’ counsel, W. Gary Blackburn and
Darren W. Kennedy [Docs. 38 and 39]. Attorney Kennedy represents in his motions that he has
contacted counsel for all parties and the Plaintiffs and there is no objection by anyone to
rescheduling the hearing on the motions to withdraw filed by Attorneys Kennedy and Blackburn.

It appears to the Court that Attorney Kennedy’s first motion is moot and therefore it shall
be STRICKEN as MOOT [Doc. 38]. The second motion to continue [Doc. 39] is hereby
GRANTED. It is therefore ORDERED that a hearing on the motions to withdraw shall be held at
2:00 p.m. [EASTERN] on Friday, September 27, 2013 before Magistrate Judge Susan K. Lee in
Chattanooga, Tennessee at the United States Courthouse and Federal Building, 900 Georgia Avenue,
4th Floor Courtroom.
It is ORDERED that both Plaintiffs SHALL attend the hearing in person unless
substitute counsel has entered an appearance prior to the hearing. Counsel for Plaintiffs and
Defendants may elect to participate in the motion hearing by phone by notifying opposing counsel

and the Court of said election. If electing to proceed by telephone, counsel will be contacted by
chambers’ staff via e-mail with the call-in number and the necessary codes for participating by
telephone. The Court notes that Attorney James Haltom, counsel for Defendant Green Point
Mortgage Funding, Inc., has filed his client’s notice of no opposition to Attorneys Kennedy and
Blackburn’s motions to withdraw and Attorney Haltom requests to participate by phone in the
hearing on said motions [Doc. 37] and permission is hereby given.
The Clerk is DIRECTED to mail a copy of this Order to Plaintiffs at the address provided
by Attorneys Blackburn and Kennedy in their respective motions to withdraw [Docs. 32 and 33].
Attorneys Blackburn and Kennedy are further ORDERED to provide a copy of this Order to
Plaintiffs and to fully comply with the applicable local rules regrading a motion to withdraw.
SO ORDERED.
