Nitz, Regina A. Habermas, and Carl R. Houston of Wright, Finlay & Zak, LLP for plaintiff.

LR IA 11-6(d) also provides that the substitution of an attorney "shall not alone be reason for delay of pretrial proceedings, discovery, the trial, or any hearing in this case."

IT IS ORDERED that:

1. The Stipulation for Substitution of Attorney (ECF No. 42) is GRANTED. 2. Melanie D. Morgan and Donna M. Wittig of Akerman LLP are substituted in the place of Dana J. Nitz, Regina A.
