ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO BE
RELIEVED AS COUNSEL
This matter came on regularly for hearing on February 25, 2013, at 10:00 a.m., before the Honorable Lawrence K. Karlton in Courtroom 4. Sara M. Peters appeared on behalf of the Law Offices of Walkup, Melodia, Kelly & Schoenberger, and Edward A. Olsen appeared on behalf of the United States of America. Plaintiff did not appear.
Counsel for plaintiff has moved to withdraw as counsel on the ground that communication has broken down making it unreasonably difficult for counsel to represent Plaintiff effectively in this action.
Based upon the submitted papers, the arguments of counsel, and for good cause appearing,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Law Offices of Walkup, Melodia, Kelly & Schoenberger's Motion to be Relieved as Counsel is granted.
The Court ORDERS Counsel to file, by March 11, 2013, a declaration and proof of service establishing that Counsel has served on Plaintiff the following: (1) A copy of this Order; (2) Notice of Motion and Motion to be Relieved as Counsel; (3) Declaration of Sara M. Peters in Support of Motion to be Relieved as Counsel; (4) the Federal Legal Assistance Self-Help Information Sheet; and (5) the procedures for registering with the Court's electronic court filing (ECF) system. In addition, Counsel must provide the Court with Plaintiff's current residential address and telephone number by March 11, 2013.
A Status Conference is SET for June 24, 2013 at 1:30 PM, before Judge Karlton in chambers. The parties shall file and serve their status reports fourteen (14) days prior to this date.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
