UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ERIC HODGSON, ) 2:04-cv-02436-GEB-GGH

)

Plaintiff, )

) ORDER

v. )

)

MBNA AMERICA BANK, N.A., )

)

Defendant. )

)

Attorney Kevin Whiteford and the law firm of Serlin &

Whiteford LLP have filed a motion for leave to withdraw as Plaintiff’s

counsel of record. The motion is scheduled to be heard approximately

nine (9) days before the discovery completion date. Since the

granting of the motion would leave Plaintiff without counsel at this

apparently critical stage of the proceeding, counsel is required to

have Plaintiff personally appear at the scheduled hearing. If this

cannot be arranged, then counsel is to reschedule the hearing through

the courtroom deputy at a time when Plaintiff can attend.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 9, 2005
