IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION,

Plaintiff,

 v.

INC21.COM CORPORATION, et al.,

Defendants. /

No. C 10-00022 WHA

ORDER REGARDING PENDING

MOTION TO WITHDRAW AS

DEFENSE COUNSEL

The Court has received Attorney Wayne Gross’s letter regarding the inability of counsel

to communicate with defendants in both this action and the related civil forfeiture action. The

letter also notes that defendants have retained new counsel in the FTC action, Attorney Joel

Dichter. Attorney Dichter appears to have been handling most of the recent filings on behalf of

defendants in the FTC matter, but is not an attorney of record in the civil forfeiture action. The

hearing on defense counsel Greenberg Traurig’s motion to withdraw as counsel in both the FTC

and civil forfeiture actions is scheduled to be heard on May 13, 2010 (see Dkt. No. 59). Attorney

Dichter and defendants are ORDERED to be present at this hearing.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 13, 2010. WILLIAM ALSUP
