IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LIFESCAN, INC.,

Plaintiff,

 v.

 AMERICAN HEALTHCARE, INC., et al.,

Defendants.

 /

No. C 05-02016 JSW

ORDER RE ELETICH’S MOTION

TO WITHDRAW AS COUNSEL

On October 3, 2006, the Court conditionally granted Derek A. Eletich, Esq.’s motion to

withdraw as counsel for Defendant American Healthcare, Inc. (“AHI”). The Order noted that

the withdrawal would not be effective until November 8, 2006, or until substitute counsel makes

an appearance, whichever occurs sooner. The Court advised that because a corporation cannot

represent itself, AHI must file a substitution of attorney by no later than November 8, 2006 and

admonished AHI that failure to retain substitute counsel may result in the Court entering a

judgment against it. 

On October 27, 2006, attorney Paul E. Loomie delivered to Court, but did not file, a

letter seeking until December 3, 2006 for AHI to locate and retain replacement counsel. Despite

the fact that more than two months since the deadline of November 8, and more than one month

since the requested extension of December 3, has passed, AHI has not yet filed a substitution of

attorney. Therefore, the Court HEREBY ORDERS that Eletich’s withdrawal is now effective.
