ORDER
This case is before the undersigned pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636, the Rules of this Court,
and Standing Order 13-02.
Now before the Court is an Unopposed Motion for Removal of Rebecca Vernetti as
Attorney of Record for the Plaintiffs. Attorney Sherif Guindi and Attorney Rebecca Vernetti
currently serve as counsel for the Plaintiffs in the above cases. The Motion for Removal
represents that Ms. Vernetti has been suspended from the practice of law for three years, and
therefore, it is requested that she be removed as counsel in these cases. Mr. Guindi intends to
continue as counsel for the Plaintiffs. The Defendant does not request the relief requested.

For good cause shown and because the continuity of Plaintiffs’ counsel is ensured, the
Court finds that the Motion for Removal [Doc. 85] is well-taken, and it is GRANTED. Rebecca
Vernetti is RELIEVED of her duties as counsel in this case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
ENTER:
