UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

PAMELA WILLIAMS,

Plaintiff,

v.

GYRUS ACMI, LP, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-cv-00805-BLF 

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO 

WITHDRAW

[Re: ECF 119]

Plaintiff’s counsel, Stephen Noel Ilg of ILG Legal Office, has moved to withdraw as 

counsel for Plaintiff. ECF 119. The parties appeared for a hearing on June 23, 2016, Defendants 

did not oppose the motion, see ECF121, and the Court orally GRANTED the motion to withdraw. 

Accordingly, this Order memorializes the Court’s ruling that Mr. Ilg’s motion to withdraw has 

been GRANTED effective June 23, 2016.

In her Opposition to the Motion to Withdraw, Plaintiff requested a 30-day stay to retain 

counsel. Because the trial date is approaching and the Court has granted numerous stays in this 

same circumstance already, the Court DENIES the request for a stay. 

The Court advises Ms. Williams that it is imperative that she comply with all rules, 

deadlines, and Court orders. See King v. Atiyeh, 814 F.2d 565, 567 (9th Cir. 1987) (“Pro se 

litigants must follow the same rules of procedure that govern other litigants.”). The failure to 

prosecute this action or comply with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Northern District of 

California’s Civil Local Rules, or Court orders or deadlines can result in the dismissal of this case 

with prejudice. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).

Ms. Williams may wish to contact the Federal Pro Se Program, a free program that offers 

limited legal services and advice to parties who are representing themselves. The Federal Pro Se
