ORDER (Mtn to Withdraw — Dkt. #19)
This matter is before the court on a Motion to Withdraw as Counsel of Record (Dkt. #19). R. Duane Frizell, Jonathan C. Callister and the law firm Callister Frizell seek to withdraw as counsel of record for Defendant Monica Tuller. The Motion represents that there has been a breakdown in communication with Defendant Tuller, but counsel does not wish to disclose the particulars of the dispute in order to preserve the attorney-client privilege. Counsel assert that Defendant Tuller has been notified of counsel's intent to withdraw.

IT IS ORDERED that:
1. The Motion to Withdraw as Counsel for Plaintiffs (Dkt. #19) is GRANTED.
2. Defendant Tuller shall have until August 23, 2010 in which to retain substitute counsel who shall make an appearance in accordance with the requirements of the Local Rules of Practice, or shall file a notice with the court that she will be appearing in this matter pro se.
3. Defendant Tuller's failure to timely comply with this order by either obtaining substitute counsel, or filing a notice that she will be appearing in this matter pro se may result in the imposition of sanctions.
4. The Clerk of the Court shall serve Defendant Tuller with a copy of this order at her last known address:
Monica Tuller
