ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE REGARDING MARGARIAN LAW FIRM
Re: Dkt. No. 119
NATHANAEL M. COUSINS, Magistrate Judge.
The Margarian Law Firm appears as counsel of record for plaintiff Gegham Margaryan, but have not filed appearances in this case as required under Civil Local Rule 5-1(c)(2). The Margarian Law Firm was not named as lead class counsel in this case, but has appeared in the caption of documents filed by plaintiffs in this case since at least October 31, 2017. Dkt. No. 97. Attorneys Margarian and Ovsepyan of the Margarian Law Firm have participated in the depositions that are at issue in the discovery letter briefs filed with the Court yesterday. Dkt. No. 126. Indeed, both attorneys Margarian and Ovsepyan were accused of engaging in improper behavior at the deposition of plaintiff Margaryan. Thus, the Court is concerned about attorneys that have not even appeared before it potentially misbehaving at depositions in this case. The Court explicitly named Gutride Safier LLP as lead counsel in this case. Dkt. No. 60; see also In re Anthem Data Breach Litigation, inefficiency this caused).
Thus, the Court ORDERS the Margarian Law Firm to file their appearances before the Court, and file a document explaining what the firm's role is in this case. This document must be filed with the Court by March 14, 2018.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
