withdrawal of Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton, LLP (“Sheppard Mullin”) as its counsel of 

record in the above captioned matter and the substitution of Reed Smith LLP (“Reed Smith”) as its 

counsel of record in place of Sheppard Mullin; 

Whereas both Sheppard Mullin and Reed Smith have also consented to this withdrawal and

Whereas Safeway and its current counsel of record represent to Plaintiff’s counsel that 

Safeway does not expect the proposed substitution to have any effect on the existing case or trial

Whereas Plaintiff does not oppose such withdrawal and substitution given the 

representation that Safeway does not expect the proposed substitution to have any effect on the 

existing case or trial schedule; 

Therefore, the parties, by and through their respective counsel of record stipulate to the 

withdrawal of Sheppard Mullin as counsel of record and substitution of Reed Smith as Safeway’s 

counsel of record and request that the Court enter an order accomplishing this withdrawal and 

substitution. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
