MEMORANDUM AND 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 a Motion to Withdraw as Counsel [Doc. 26],
filed by Attorneys Lynn Tarpy and Allison S. Jackson. Mr. Tarpy and Ms. Jackson move the
Court to grant their request to withdraw as counsel for Defendant Cindy J. Collins.
Local Rule 83.4 requires that: counsel request permission to withdraw as counsel; include
the current mailing address and telephone number of the client; provide a copy of the motion to
the client fourteen days prior to filing; and certify that the requirements of the rule have been
met. See E.D. Tenn. L.R. 83.4(f). The Court finds that the Motion to Withdraw satisfies Local
Rule 83.4 on its face, and because the Local Rule is satisfied, the Court finds that a hearing on
this issue is not necessary. Accordingly, the Motion to Withdraw [Doc. 26] is GRANTED.
Attorneys Lynn Tarpy and Allison S. Jackson SHALL turn any relevant documents over
to the Defendant and advise the Defendant of all pertinent dates and deadlines in this case in
writing. Thereafter, they are RELIEVED of their duties as counsel in this matter.

As of entry of this Memorandum and Order, Defendant Collins is deemed to be
proceeding pro se. If the Defendant intends to secure substitute counsel in this matter, she must
do so as soon as possible.
The Clerk of Court SHALL enter Defendant’s current mailing address of 489 Nance
Ferry Road, Blaine, Tennessee 37709, and her telephone number of 865.933.0995, in the docket
of this case. The Clerk of Court SHALL mail a copy of this Memorandum and Order to the
Defendant at the above address,
IT IS SO ORDERED.
ENTER:
