PEGGY A. LEEN, Magistrate Judge.
This matter is before the court on Kang & Associates' Erica D. Loyd and Patrick Kang's Motion to Withdraw as Counsel for Plaintiff Lorraine Arnold (Dkt. #34). The motion and supporting affidavit represents that since May 2014, an irreparable conflict of interest has developed between Ms. Arnold and the attorneys at Kang & Associates, and that the attorneys at Kang & Associates can no longer continue to represent Ms. Arnold and fulfill their ethical duties to Ms. Arnold. Counsel have met with Ms. Arnold on several occasions and have has numerous conversations with her regarding the case and withdrawal. Ms. Loyd, Mr. Kang assert that allowing them to withdraw will not delay proceedings in this case because they served discovery responses to all outstanding discovery requests at the same time this motion to withdraw was filed.
