UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KENNETH LEE TAYLOR,

Plaintiff,

v.

KUERSTON, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2: 19-cv-00450 TLN KJN P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding through counsel, with a civil rights action pursuant 

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action is set for jury trial before the Honorable Troy L. Nunley on 

October 18, 2021.

On May 11, 2021, plaintiff’s counsel filed a form titled “Consent Order Granting 

Substitution of Attorney.” (ECF No. 92.) In this form, plaintiff’s counsel requests court approval 

to withdraw from representing plaintiff, leaving plaintiff without counsel. 

Local Rule 182(d) provides that an attorney who has appeared may not withdraw leaving 

the client in propria persona without leave of court upon noticed motion and notice to the client 

and all parties who have appeared. Plaintiff’s May 11, 2021 notice for substitution of attorney 

does not comply with Local Rule 182(2).1 

1

 A motion to withdraw by plaintiff’s counsel, pursuant to Local Rule 182(d), shall be noticed 

before Judge Nunley, the trial judge in this action.
