Opinion
Civil Action No. 06-cv-02388-ZLW-BNB.
May 30, 2007
ORDER
This matter is before me on the plaintiff's pro se Motion for Leave to Terminate Counsel Pursuant to D.C.COLO.LCivR 83.4 and Colorado Rules of Professional Conduct 1.16 [Doc. # 30, filed 4/17/2007] (the "Motion to Terminate"). In addition, defendant Imperial Lending, LLC ("Imperial"), filed a Motion to Dismiss or for Summary Judgment [Doc. #12, filed 2/1/2007]. Although represented by counsel at the time of her response, the plaintiff filed her response pro se. As I previously have informed the plaintiff, parties represented by counsel may not file papers pro se. All filings must be made by counsel of record.
I held a hearing on these matters this morning and made rulings on the record, which are incorporated here. In summary and for the reasons stated on the record:
IT IS ORDERED that the Motion to Terminate is DENIED as withdrawn.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the plaintiff's pro se Response to Defendant's Motion to Dismiss [Doc. #29] is STRICKEN. Plaintiff's lawyer may have to and including June 11, 2007, within which to file a response to the motion to dismiss.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the plaintiff may have to and including June 11, 2007, within which to respond to the Order to Show Cause [Doc. # 40, filed 5/16/2007].
