WO 

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA 

Honeywell International, Inc., 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

Western Support Group; Douglas C. 

Harmon; and Cynthia A. Harmon, 

Defendants. 

No. CV 12-00645-PHX-JAT

ORDER 

IT IS ORDERED granting in part and denying in part defense counsel’s Motion 

to Withdraw as Counsel and to Vacate June 26, 2013 Hearing (Doc. 73) without 

prejudice as follows: 

IT IS ORDERED that the discovery dispute hearing currently set for June 26, 

2013 at 1:30 p.m. is vacated. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defense Counsel’s Motion to Withdraw is 

denied without prejudice. Defense counsel’s motion is not in compliance with LRCiv 

83.3(b)(2). Specifically, defense counsel’s declaration in support of his motion to 

withdraw does not state that his “client has been notified in writing of the status of the 

case including the dates and times of any court hearings or trial settings, pending 

compliance with any existing court orders and the possibility of sanctions.” LRCiv 

83.3(b)(2) (emphasis added). Rather, defense counsel’s declaration states that his “clients 

will be notified in writing of the status of this case in compliance with Local Rule of Civil

Procedure 83.3(b)(2).” (Doc. 73-1 (emphasis added)). Defense counsel does not state 

when his clients “will be” notified. As counsel has not yet informed his clients in writing 

of his decision to withdraw and the status of the case, counsel is not in compliance with 

LRCiv 83.3(b)(2). Accordingly, the Motion to Withdraw is denied without prejudice. 

 If defense counsel still seeks to withdraw, such motion to withdraw shall be filed 

within 3 days of the date of this Order. Further, if such motion to withdraw is made 

pursuant to LRCiv 83.3(b)(2), the declaration in support of such motion shall state the 

date Defendants were served with notice pursuant to LRCiv 83.3(b)(2) and how such 

service was accomplished. 

 If no Motion to Withdraw is filed within 3 days of this Order, Plaintiff may seek to 

reset a discovery dispute hearing as set forth in this Court’s Rule 16 Scheduling Order. 

 Dated this 26th day of June, 2013.
