granted; and (2) plaintiff’s lawsuit should not be dismissed for a lack of prosecution. See

Fed. R. Civ. P. 41. The Court advised plaintiff that if she wishes to contest the withdrawal of

counsel and/or dismissal of her lawsuit for failure to prosecute, plaintiff shall notify the

Court in writing on or before January, 26, 2006 of the reasons the withdrawal should not be

granted or the case dismissed. In particular, the Court stated that if plaintiff wishes to

proceed with this action, she shall advise the Court of the name and address of her new

that her failure to communicate with the Court as required might result in dismissal of her

action with prejudice.

Plaintiff did not respond to the Court’s order. Accordingly, the motion to withdraw as

counsel filed by the Barrett Law Office and Dumas & Associates is GRANTED and this

action is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE for a failure to prosecute.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
