that an attorney may not withdraw, leaving a client in propria persona, absent noticed 

motion and an affidavit from counsel showing the efforts made to provide notification of 

the attorney’s intent to withdraw.

appearance in this matter without counsel appearing on their behalf.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
