UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TIMOTHY W. JONES; and 

STEPHANNI JONES, individuals,

Plaintiffs,

v.

AEGIS WHOLESALE CORPORATION,

et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:15-cv-01134-JAM-CKD

ORDER GRANTING ATTORNEY PATRICIA 

RODRIGUEZ AND THE RODRIGUEZ LAW 

GROUP, INC.’S MOTION TO WITHDRAW 

AS COUNSEL FOR PLAINTIFFS

Counsel for Plaintiffs Timothy W. Jones and Stephanni Jones, 

Patricia Rodriguez and the Rodriguez Law Group, Inc., move the 

Court for permission to withdraw as counsel of record (Doc. 

#67).1 No party has filed an opposition or a statement of nonopposition to the motion; Plaintiffs have consented to the 

withdrawal (Doc. #67-3). Attached to the motion is the affidavit 

of Patricia Rodriguez (Doc. #67-2). Having considered the motion 

and accompanying affidavit, the Court finds Plaintiffs’ counsel

have satisfied the requirements of Local Rule 182(d) and 

 

1 This motion was determined to be suitable for decision without 

oral argument. E.D. Cal. L.R. 230(g). The hearing was 

scheduled for June 14, 2016.

California Rules of Professional Conduct Rule 3-700. Good cause 

having been shown, the Court GRANTS the motion to withdraw. 

Plaintiffs intend to proceed in propria persona. Because 

Plaintiffs are now appearing in propria persona, this matter is 

referred to the assigned Magistrate Judge for all pending and 

future proceedings. E.D. Cal. L.R. 302(c)(21).

The parties also request that the Court continue the trial 

date and all pre-trial deadlines while they participate in the 

Court’s Voluntary Dispute Resolution Program (VDRP) (Doc. #69). 

Because the VDRP does not allow for the referral of “actions in 

which one of the parties is appearing pro se,” the Court DENIES 

this request. E.D. Cal. L.R. 271(a)(2)(ii).

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 15, 2016
