ORDER
JAMES P. O'HARA U.S. MAGISTRATE JUDGE
On September 23, 2021, defendants' attorney, Abdul Arif, filed a motion to withdraw as counsel (ECF No. 20). Plaintiff (through counsel) and defendants (personally) are directed to file written responses to the motion by October 7, 2021. The responses should state (1) whether the party has any objections to (or proposed conditions on) Mr. Arif being granted leave to withdraw and (2) the status of settlement negotiations. A call-in telephone hearing on the motion will be held on October 8, 2021, at 11:00 a.m., unless a stipulation for dismissal has been filed by that date. Anyone wishing to participate in the telephone hearing shall call the conference line at 888-363-4749, using access code 8914911.
Because defendants themselves do not have electronic-filing privileges, they should submit their responses to the clerk of court by either e-mail at ksd_clerks_wichita@ksd.uscourts.gov, fax at 316-315-4201, OR in person at the courthouse.
The Clerk is directed to send a copy of this order via regular and certified mail to defendants Rafael Rodriguez-Acosta, Maria Garcia-Gamino, and La Michoacana LLC, at 2310 SE Boulevard, Wichita, Kansas, 67211.
