2091-1(a): Attorneys: MOTION TO WITHDRAW AS COUNSEL
LBR 2091-1(a) provides a procedure for an attorney to withdraw as counsel, and that withdrawal results in the client no longer being represented by an attorney. The former client is now considered to be a "Self-Represented Party".
Sometimes a client agrees to become a Self-Represented party. Other times, the client has not agreed.
- Regardless, in both situations, a motion is required -- the court does not have a form motion.
- A hearing is not required, but the attorney must file a Notice of Motion for Order Without Hearing under LBR 9013-1(p).
- The court has a form notice. See link below.
