ORDER 

Plaintiff’s counsel, Morgan Welch (“Welch”), moves to withdraw as counsel of record

for plaintiff Jon Bevans (“Bevans”). [Doc. No. 28]. Welch states that Bevans has failed to

maintain contact with him and has failed to answer discovery in a timely manner. This has

substantially impaired Welch’s ability to properly represent Bevans.

The motion will be held in abeyance for thirty (30) days during which Bevans is

directed to either obtain new counsel, or state his intention to proceed pro se and provide the

court with his contact information. Welch is directed to provide Bevans with a copy of this

order, explain its requirements, and assist Bevans in responding.

Further, it appears from the motion that Lloyd W. Kitchens (“Kitchens”) is no longer

representing Bevans. If that is the case, Kitchens is directed to formally move to withdraw.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED this 19th day of January, 2010.
