JOANNA NICKELL; ROBERT NICKELL;
and GRANVILLE TAYLOR ANDERSON 	DEFENDANTS
ORDER
Now before the Court are Russell Marlin’s Motion to Withdraw as Attorney (Doc.
28) and Motion to Continue Deadlines and Renewed Motion to Withdraw as Counsel
(Doc. 32). Mr. Marlin, who represents Separate Defendant Granville Taylor Anderson,
seeks to withdraw because the attorney-client relationship has broken down and Mr.
Anderson has hired new counsel. See Doc. 32-1 (email to Mr. Marlin from Mr. Anderson’s
new attorney Tim Parker). Mr. Marlin affirms that he retains no funds or property belonging
to Mr. Anderson.
Local Rule 83.5(f) provides that “[n]o attorney shall withdraw from an action or
proceeding except by leave of Court after reasonable notice has been given to the client
and opposing counsel.” The Court finds that Mr. Marlin has complied with Local Rule
83.5(f). IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Motion to Withdraw as Attorney (Doc. 28)
and Motion to Continue Deadlines and Renewed Motion to Withdraw as Counsel (Doc.
32) are GRANTED. Attorney Russell Marlin is WITHDRAWN, and the Clerk of Court is
DIRECTED to remove his name from the list of attorneys who receive electronic notice of
filings in this case.
