No. MDL 09-2096-PHX-FJM

ORDER

The court has before it a motion from lawyers Christopher L. Schnieders and Thomas

P. Cartmell to withdraw as counsel for plaintiff Nicolin Dedecker (doc. 1350), counsel’s

supplemental exhibit (doc. 1392), and counsel’s amended certificate of service (doc. 1393).

Plaintiff has not responded. No trial date has been set. 

Mr. Schneiders and Mr. Cartmell’s motion is accompanied by certification that

counsel notified plaintiff in writing of the status of her case, and included information about

orders and deadlines. See LRCiv 83.3(b)(2). Counsel made several attempts to contact

plaintiff regarding the need to comply with defendants’ discovery requests and the potential

settlement of her case. See Motion to Withdraw, ex. 1; Supplemental Exhibit, ex. A.

Counsel have demonstrated that they made reasonable efforts to contact plaintiff. Counsels’

communications outlined the urgency and importance of plaintiff’s obligations in this

litigation. Plaintiff has been non-responsive. Therefore, there is good cause for withdrawal.

See ER 1.16.
