SILVER STATE INTELLECTUAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC., Plaintiff, v. GARMIN INTERNATIONAL, INC., et al., Defendants.
ORDER
(Mtn to Withdraw - Dkt. #75)
This matter is before the court on the Notice of Withdraw (Dkt. #75) filed April 9, 2013. Phillip Bennet seeks to withdraw as counsel of record for Plaintiff Silver State Intellectual Technologies, Inc. The Notice represents that Mr. Bennet is no longer associated with the law firm of Knobbe, Martens, Olson & Bear. Plaintiff will continue to be represented by Brenton Babcock, Frederick Berretta, and Jeff Silvestri.

The Complaint (Dkt. #1) in this case was filed on September 29, 2011. Discovery closes thirty days after issuance of the claim construction order. See Order on Stipulation (Dkt. #72).
Having reviewed and considered the matter, and for good cause shown,
IT IS ORDERED:
1. The Motion to Withdraw (Dkt. #75) is GRANTED.
2. Phillip Bennet is withdrawn from representation of Plaintiff Silver State Intellectual Technologies, Inc., and the Clerk of Court shall remove him from the electronic service list.
3. Plaintiff shall continue to be represented by Brenton Babcock, Frederick Berreta, and Jeff Silvestri.
