UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On August 23, 2018, Plaintiffs’ counsel Miranda Galindo requested “to withdraw her 

appearance for the reason that she has accepted other employment and is no longer employed by the 

Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund.” (Doc. 75 at 2) Ms. Galindo asserts that 

“Thomas A. Saenz will continue to represent the Plaintiffs in this matter.” (Id.)

Significantly, Mr. Saenz has not filed a notice of appearance on behalf of Plaintiffs in this 

action, and Plaintiffs have not indicated their consent to counsel such that the Court may construe the 

document as a substitution of counsel. Therefore, instead, the Court construes the motion to be a 

notice of appearance by Mr. Saenz.
