ORDER
KATHERINE POLK FAILLA, District Judge:
On December 2, 2022, Plaintiff submitted a letter to the Court, requesting that the Court terminate Joshua Douglass as counsel of record in this case. (Dkt. #735). That letter indicates that Mr. Douglass has refused to communicate with Plaintiff about this case, and that he has threatened Plaintiff. (Id.). Plaintiff made similar representations in two motions she filed with the Court on December 5, 2022. (Dkt. #737-738). Finally, on December 8, 2022, Plaintiff filed a supplemental motion to terminate Mr. Douglass as counsel of record. (Dkt. #742). Accordingly, in line with Local Rule 1.4, Mr. Douglass is ORDERED to respond to Plaintiff's aforementioned letters and motions by December 14, 2022. In his response, Mr. Douglass shall address the issues of reparability of his relationship with Plaintiff and whether he is asserting a retaining or charging lien for his work associated with this case.
SO ORDERED.
