STIPULATION TO SUBSTITUTE ATTORNEYS FOR THE UNITED STATES
DANIEL J. ALBREGTS, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Pursuant to LR IA 11-6(c), the United States submits the following stipulation to substitute Benton Morton as counsel for the United States in place of Isaac M. Hoenig. Mr. Hoenig has left the employment of the U.S. Department of Justice as of June 16, 2023. Benton Morton, an attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice, Tax Division, has entered his appearance and will continue to serve as counsel for the United States in this matter going forward.
The Court notes that attorney Benton Morton did not sign the stipulation and has not yet entered his appearance in this matter, despite his representation that he has done so. Nonetheless, because the stipulation seeks to substitute Mr. Morton, who is an attorney in the Tax Division of the Department of Justice, in the place of Isaac Hoenig, who has left the Tax Division of the Department of Justice, the Court will grant the stipulation despite these deficiencies.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the stipulation to substitute (ECF No. 15) is GRANTED.
