ROBERT E. RENZEL TRUST, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

ALFREDO TORRES, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No.15-cv-01648-HSG 

ORDER REGARDING HEARING ON 

MOTION TO WITHDRAW AS 

COUNSEL

Re: Dkt. No. 164

Hyang Bae Whang, Seon Geun Whang, and Kyu Chuk Whang (“Whang Clients”) are 

represented in this action by Kathleen N. Strickland (“Attorney Strickland”), Stephan Choo

(“Attorney Choo”), Devin C. Courteau (“Attorney Courteau”), and the law firm Ropers, Majeski, 

Kohn, & Bentley, PC (“Ropers Firm”). Dkt. Nos. 34, 164. On April 21, 2017, Attorney 

Strickland, Attorney Choo, and the Ropers Firm filed a motion to withdraw as counsel of record

for the Whang Clients. Dkt. No. 164. The deadline for oppositions has passed and the motion is 

unopposed. On the case docket, Attorney Courteau is still listed as representing the Whang 

Clients. However, the motion to withdraw makes no mention of him. See id.

The motion hearing is scheduled for June 15, 2017, at 2:00 p.m., and will be held in 

camera, outside the presence of all other parties. The Court ORDERS only Attorney Strickland, 

Attorney Choo, and the Whang Clients to appear, and DIRECTS them to be prepared to explain 

the basis for the motion, as well as the status of Attorney Courteau.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
