Opinion
Case No. 07-4125-JAR.
May 8, 2008
ORDER
This case comes before the court on Mary Beth Mudrick's Motion to Withdraw as Counsel (Doc. 31) for defendants Green and Hannan.
Ms. Mudrick's motion explains that Shelly Starr recently joined the City of Topeka's legal department. Because Ms. Starr has previously represented defendant Custenborder, in order to avoid a conflict of interest Ms. Mudrick seeks to withdraw as counsel for defendants Green and Hannan in their official capacities. Since Gregory Lee has already entered his appearance on behalf of defendants Green and Hannan in their official capacities, the court sees no reason why Ms. Mudrick's motion, which is in substantial compliance with D. Kan. Local Rule 83.5.5, should not be granted.
Accordingly, and for good cause shown,
IT IS ORDERED that Ms. Mudrick's Motion to Withdraw as Counsel (Doc. 31) is granted. The court clerk's office is directed to mail a copy of this order to defendants Green and Hannan, in accordance with D. Kan. Local Rule 83.5.5.
