SAN JOSE DIVISION

SCOTT JOHNSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

HARVEST INVESTMENT 

MANAGEMENT, LLC,

Defendant.

Case No.18-cv-01627-VKD 

ORDER DENYING WITHOUT 

PREJUDICE REQUEST TO

WITHDRAW AS COUNSEL

Re: Dkt. No. 27

On April 18, 2019, defendant Harvest Investment Management, LLC’s (“Harvest”) 

counsel, Catherine M. Corfee and Gregory J. Yu, filed a stipulation for Ms. Corfee to withdraw as 

counsel for Harvest. Dkt. No. 27. This stipulated request is deficient in two respects.

First, Civil Local Rule 11-5(a) states that counsel may not withdraw until relieved by order 

of the Court after written notice has been given reasonably in advance to the client and all other 

parties who have appeared in the case. Counsel’s stipulated request says nothing about any notice 

provided to their client, much less whether Harvest consents to Ms. Corfee’s withdrawal.

Second, although Mr. Yu has previously filed submissions on behalf of Harvest, he has not 

entered a notice of appearance as required by Civil Local Rule 5-1(c)(2) and therefore is not listed 

as Harvest’s counsel on the public docket.

The Court will not permit Ms. Corfee to withdraw until the above deficiencies are rectified

and Harvest complies with the applicable local rules. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
