17

discrepancy and was told that Ms. Johnston would enter an appearance and that Mr. Mahoney

18

would be withdrawing as counsel of record. No further action has been taken.
At present, plaintiff is represented by Mr. Mahoney and only Mr. Mahoney. Until Ms.

representations in the joint status report will be issued.
