IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GERREL LOONEY,

Plaintiff,

 v.

L. GUTIERREZ, J. TAYLOR, and M.

PATSEL,

Defendants. /

No. C 17-01164 WHA

ORDER ON MOTION TO

WITHDRAW AS COUNSEL

AND MOTION TO

DISQUALIFY

The motion to withdraw as counsel (Dkt. No. 60) is GRANTED to the extent that plaintiff

seemingly seeks to terminate counsel (see Dkt. No. 58 at 1) and has not filed an opposition to

the motion. The motion is otherwise DENIED. Going forward, plaintiff shall represent himself. 

The Court will not appoint another lawyer for him. Counsel for plaintiff shall provide paper

copies to plaintiff of whatever materials — including the instant order and the case management

scheduling order — that, in counsel’s judgment, will assist plaintiff in proceeding with the

instant action. 

Insofar as plaintiff seeks to amend the complaint and disqualify the California Attorney

General’s Office as counsel for defendants (Dkt. No. 58), the motion is DENIED. The matter is

suitable for disposition without oral argument and thus plaintiff’s request for a hearing is

DENIED. See Civ. L.R. 7-1(b).
