This matter comes before the court on the parties’ stipulated motion to grant leave

18 to withdraw as attorney for plaintiffs. Dkt. # 69. The stipulated motion does not conform
19 to this District’s local rules, which require, among other things, a certification that the
20 motion was served on the client. Local Rules W.D. Wash. CR 83.2(b)(1). It is unclear to
21 the court whether the stipulation was served on plaintiffs or whether they object to their
22 counsel withdrawing as counsel of record.
23

For all the foregoing reasons, the motion is DENIED without prejudice. The

24 parties may re-file a stipulated motion that complies with all the requirements of LCR
25 83.2(b).
