This matter is before the Court on the Motion to Withdraw as Counsel (Filing No. 12) filed by Jeffrey P. Welch and the law firm of Marks Clare & Richards, LLC, counsel of record for Plaintiff, Freddie Willis. Plaintiff's counsel seeks to withdraw due to a breakdown in the attorneyclient relationship and has attached a certificate of service indicating that Plaintiff was served with a copy of this motion.

IT IS ORDERED:
1. The Motion to Withdraw as Counsel (Filing No. 12) filed by Jeffrey P. Welch and the law firm of Marks Clare & Richards, LLC, is granted.

3. Upon filing of proof of service pursuant to Paragraph 2 of this Order, Plaintiff will be deemed to be proceeding pro se, that is, without the assistance of counsel, unless substitute counsel enters a written appearance on her behalf. If substitute counsel does not enter a written appearance, Plaintiff shall provide the Clerk of Court her current address and telephone number within five days of being served with this Order.
4. Plaintiff may retain substitute counsel at any time. However, until such time as substitute counsel enters a written appearance, Plaintiff must comply with all case progression deadlines, orders of this Court, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and the Local Rules of Practice. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in the imposition of sanctions, including payment of costs, attorneys' fees, and/or dismissal of the case.
