AGREED ORDER GRANTING DENNIS McGLOTHIN'S ORE TENUS MOTION
Barbara Jacobs Rothstein, U.S. District Court Judge
I. INTRODUCTION
On May 26, 2023, counsel for Plaintiff HTP, Inc., Dennis McGlothin, made an Ore Tenus Motion to Withdraw as counsel for Plaintiff HTP, Inc. Present were counsel for Defendants, co-counsel for Plaintiff, and the Executive Chairman of Plaintiff HTP, Inc. who was the designated representative of Plaintiff HTP, Inc. This Court asked if anyone present at the hearing objected to Mr. McGlothin's ore tenus Motion to Withdraw and there was no objection either as to procedure or substance. Based on the foregoing, this Court grants Mr. McGlothin's ore tenus Motion to Withdraw that he made on both his and the Western Washington Law Group, PLLC's behalf.
Dennis McGlothin and the Western Washington Law Group are, therefore, granted leave to withdraw as Plaintiff HTP, Inc.'s counsel. The Clerk will remove Mr. McGlothin, Mr. Cadranell, and the Western Washington Law Group, PLLC as attorney of record for Plaintiff HTP, Inc forthwith and this Court, the parties, and the remaining attorneys of record will immediately observe the withdrawals allowed in this Order.
Plaintiff's Co-Counsel Philip Guess, Peter A. Talevich, and K&L Gates LLP are unaffected by this Order and remain counsel of record for Plaintiff HTP, Inc.
The withdrawal allowed by this Order rendered further proceedings on Defendants' Motion to Disqualify Counsel moot, and their Motion is STRICKEN.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
