UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On June 30, 2015, Attorneys Angela Thompson and Timothy Kassouni sought to be 

substituted as counsel of record for plaintiffs. (Docs. 92, 93) Both Plaintiffs have consented to the 

substitution. Id. The Court notes that Plaintiffs have represented themselves since they initiated this 

action and trial is set to begin on August 4, 2015. With this in mind, the Court GRANTS the 

substitution with the following CONDITIONS:

1. The fact that Plaintiffs have now retained counsel will not impact the trial date and is 

not grounds for a further request to continue the trial2;

///

 

1 The orders granting the substitutions of counsel (Doc. 94, 95) are superseded by this order issued nunc pro tunc.

2 The Court denied Plaintiffs’ oral request, made at the pretrial conference, to continue the trial.

2. Motions in limine were to be filed no later than June 28, 2015. (Doc. 88 at 8-9) 

Plaintiffs did not file any motions and, as a result, have waived any such filing. The fact that 

Plaintiffs have now retained counsel will not impact Plaintiffs’ waiver and no late filings will be 

accepted.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
