Case No. 13-cv-01451-SC

ORDER REQUIRING PLAINTIFFS 

BARRY BROWN AND JENNIFER BROWN 

TO APPEAR 

Counsel for Plaintiffs Barry Brown and Jennifer Brown (and 

Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2) has filed a Motion to Withdraw as 

Counsel. ECF No. 85. Therein, Counsel cites "conflicts between 

Jennifer Brown and her attorneys which have made our continued 

representation . . . unreasonably difficult" and argue continued 

representation could force Counsel to act contrary to their own 

judgment and advice, thus likely resulting in a violation of Fed R. 

Civ. P. Rule 11, the Rules of Professional Conduct, or the State 

Bar Act. ECF No. 85-1, ¶ 5. Counsel also offers to provide 

potentially privileged information for in camera review. A hearing 

is presently scheduled to be held on the motion on August 28, 2015.

Court

For the Northern District of California 

Based on the facts as described and the potential need to 

inquire into matters that may otherwise be subject to the attorneyclient privilege, the Court believes it cannot properly resolve 

this matter without the presence of Mr. Barry Brown and Ms. 

Jennifer Brown. Therefore, the Court hereby ORDERS Mr. Barry Brown 

and Ms. Jennifer Brown to appear on August 28, 2015 at 10:00AM in 

Courtroom 1, 17th Floor, at the San Francisco Courthouse at 450 

Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102. If either Mr. Brown 

or Ms. Brown fails to appear, the case will be dismissed. Jane Doe 

1 and Jane Doe 2 need not appear. Plaintiffs' counsel is hereby 

ORDERED to serve both Mr. Brown and Ms. Brown with this order 

within two (2) days of the signature date of this order. 

 IT IS SO ORDERED. 

 Dated: August 20, 2015
