STIPULATED MOTION

Plaintiff R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company (“R.J. Reynolds”) and defendant Rob 

McKenna, in his capacity as Attorney General of Washington, et al., by and through their 

counsel, hereby move the court to allow William H. Walsh to withdraw his appearance as an 

attorney for R.J. Reynolds. Mr. Walsh will be moving to another firm starting on October 16, 

2006. However, Mr. Keller and his firm will continue to serve as local counsel for R.J. 

Reynolds, which will also continue to be represented by Covington & Burling. Mr. Walsh’s 

withdrawal will not materially affect R.J. Reynolds’ prosecution of its case, nor will it cause any 

delay. Defendants do not object to this motion.
