__________________________________________) Judge Morrison C. England, Jr. 

 

 Attorneys Michelle LaPena and AmyAnn Taylor of LaPena Law Corporation (“LaPena”) 

have requested to withdraw and vacate their motion to withdraw as counsel for Defendant Cecilia 

Hernandez. LaPena Law Corporation’s request papers indicate that after submitting the motion 

to withdraw as counsel for Ms. Hernandez, LaPena Law Corporation received a signed 

Substitution of Attorney form, which substitutes Ms. Hernandez in pro per in this matter. Ms. 

Hernandez asked that this form be filed with the court. Ms. Hernandez has terminated LaPena’s 

service as her legal counsel in this matter and thus eliminated the necessity for LaPena’s motion 

for a withdrawal as counsel. 

To date, the court and the Plaintiff have not acted on LaPena’s motion to withdraw as 

counsel and thus will not be prejudiced by a withdrawal of this motion. 

 Upon request of LAPENA LAW CORPORATION, and for good cause shown, it is 

hereby:
