UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

----oo0oo----

CURTIS HOPPER,

NO. CIV. S-05-0153 WBS DAD

Plaintiffs, 

v. MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

RE: MOTION TO WITHDRAW

FOLSOM POLICE DEPARTMENT, CITY

OF FOLSOM, S. LITINOV, T.

SCHANTZ, AND DOES 1-50,

inclusive,

Defendants.

----oo0oo----

Attorney Barry Zimmerman, counsel of record for

plaintiff, moves to withdraw. Plaintiff’s complaint is based on

the conduct of police during plaintiff’s arrest on January 31,

2004. Mr. Zimmerman states that facts have come to light that

show him this case would be “uneconomical to pursue,” (Mot. to

Withdraw at 2), and therefore he no longer wishes to handle the

case. 

Discovery is set to close in this matter on October 3,

2005. The trial is set for March 14, 2006. (April 1, 2005

Order).

Defendant has filed a notice of nonobjection.

Plaintiff was present at the hearing and stated that he

prefers Zimmerman to remain as his counsel. Plaintiff also

acknowledged that he understands that he, and not his attorney,

is responsible for any costs, such as transcription costs, to be

incurred to pursue this litigation.

This situation is not one in which there has been a

complete breakdown in the relationship between the client and the

attorney. 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that attorney Barry Zimmerman’s

motion to withdraw be, and the same hereby is, DENIED.

DATED: July 25, 2005
