UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On February 12, 2015, Plaintiffs’ counsel, Michael Abbott made a motion to withdraw 

from this case. Doc. 811. The motion set the hearing for March 9, 2015. Local Rule 230 states 

that a hearing is to be set “not less than twenty-eight (28) days after service and filing of the 

motion. Motions defectively noticed shall be filed, but not set for hearing; the Clerk shall 

immediately notify the moving party of the defective notice and of the next available dates and 

times for proper notice, and the moving party shall file and serve a new notice of motion setting 

forth a proper time and date.” The motion is improperly noticed as there are fewer than 28 days 

between the filing and serving of the notice and the hearing date. Plaintiffs’ counsel is directed to 

renotice the motion properly. Additionally, the trial setting conference set for March 2, 2015 is 

VACATED as no trial can be set until issues surrounding Plaintiffs’ representation are resolved. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 21, 2015
