HEATHER NEWTON, Plaintiff, v. AMERICAN DEBT SERVICES, INC., et al., Defendants.
ORDER GRANTING WILLIAM R.
MITCHELL'S MOTION TO
WITHDRAW AS COUNSEL FOR
DEFENDANT AMERICAN DEBT
SERVICES, INC.
(Docket No. 121)
This order memorializes the rulings made by the Court during the hearing on March 21, 2013.
Counsel's motion to withdraw as counsel for American Debt Services, Inc. ("ADS") is GRANTED. QSS has until May 20, 2013, to obtain new counsel and have that counsel make an appearance in this case. See Civ. L.R. 3-9(b) (providing that "[a] corporation, unincorporated association, partnership or other such entity may appear only through a member of the bar of this Court"). ADS is forewarned that, should it fail to obtain counsel, then it will be found in default and Plaintiff may seek entry of a default judgment against it.
Counsel shall ensure that a copy of this order is immediately served on the appropriate ADS representative. A proof of service shall be promptly filed. In addition, counsel shall immediately provide the Courtroom Deputy with all contact information that he has for ADS. Counsel shall also have a continuing obligation to forward any papers received in conjunction with this litigation to the appropriate ADS representative.
This order disposes of Docket No. 121.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
