Opinion
07 Civ. 1178 (JGK).
April 20, 2010
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
Fish Richardson's motion to withdraw as counsel to the plaintiff is unopposed by the defendants. There is no indication that it is opposed by the plaintiff. The motion to withdraw is granted unless the plaintiff interposes any objection by April 28, 2010.
The plaintiff, as a corporation, can only appear by new counsel. Therefore, the action is stayed until May 19, 2010 to allow the plaintiff to obtain new counsel. If the plaintiff fails to obtain new counsel, any motions against it may be granted by default. The stay does not affect the requirements to comply with any procedures necessary for appeal.
The Court has not yet received the defendants' motion for attorneys' fees and costs, which should of course be served on both the plaintiff and Fish Richardson.
The time to respond to the motion for attorneys' fees is extended to June 3, 2010. The defendants' reply, if any, is due on June 14, 2010.
The application for reconsideration of the Court's denial of the defendants' motion for a bond is denied. The defendants have failed to point to any controlling decisions or facts that the Court overlooked that might reasonably be expected to alter the Court's decision. See Shrader v. CSX Transp., Inc., 70 F.3d 255, 257 (2d Cir. 1995).
SO ORDERED.
