ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO
WITHDRAW AS COUNSEL

Defendants.

14

This matter comes before the Court on Chris P. Reilly’s motion to withdraw as

15

counsel of record for defendants Stephen Yadvish and Yachtfish Marine, Inc. Dkt. # 34.

16

Plaintiffs oppose the motion on the ground that counsel should be compelled to continue

17

the representation until a pending motion to dismiss is resolved. Unless and until the

18

motion to withdraw is granted, Mr. Reilly remains counsel of record and is expected to

19

zealously advocate for his clients. His role in this case will not be extended simply

20

because he has continued his efforts in that regard.

21

The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate Mr. Reilly’s participation in this case

22

on behalf of both Stephen Yadvish and Yachtfish Marine, Inc., and to add defendants’

23

address and contact information to the docket:1

If counsel has any reason to believe that defendants are to be found at different
addresses, they shall immediately notify the Court.

Yachtfish Marine, Inc., has been and is hereby advised that a business entity, other

7

than a sole proprietorship, must be represented by counsel in federal litigation. Yachtfish

8

Marine, Inc., shall have twenty days from the date of this Order in which to retain new

9

counsel. If a timely notice of appearance is not filed, Yachtfish Marine, Inc.’s

10

counterclaims will be dismissed and default will be entered against it.
