CIVIL ACTION NO.

2:14-cv-2214-WMA

MEMORANDUM OPINION & ORDER

Before the court is the motion by plaintiff’s attorneys for

leave to withdraw. (Doc. 30). Even though defendant’s response

to the motion is conciliatory, it detects the fatal flaw in the

motion, namely that a corporation cannot litigate without a

lawyer. Only if a lawyer licensed to practice in this court

enters an appearance for plaintiff and in the appearance he or

she formally agrees to be bound by the existing schedule, will

the court consider the motion for leave to withdraw. This should

not be construed as a promise to grant the motion if or when this

prerequisite is met. The motion is DENIED.

DONE this 17th day of February, 2016.
