ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO WITHDRAW AS COUNSEL OF RECORD FOR DEFENDANTS Re: Dkt. No. 282 AL.,
YVONNE GONZALEZ ROGERS, District Judge.
The Court is in receipt of Winston & Strawn LLP's ("Winston") motion to withdraw as counsel of record for defendants, Axus Stationery (Shanghai) Co. Ltd., Shanghai Marco Stationery Co. Ltd., Shanghai Laikesheng Pen Material Co. Ltd. d/b/a Shanghai Lexon, Kenpark Ltd., Andre Viegas, and Peifeng Xu and defendant/counterclaimant Roberta Trading Corporation (collectively, "defendants"). (Dkt. No. 282).
On January 2, 2019, the Court afforded defendants the opportunity to object to Winston's motion by no later than January 15, 2019. (Dkt. No. 285.) Defendants filed a "Confidential Statement" on January 15, 2019 in response to the Court's order. (Dkt. No. 288-3.)1
Having carefully reviewed the motion and papers submitted, and for good cause appearing, the Court GRANTS Winston's motion to withdraw as counsel of record for defendants. Further, given that judgment in this matter has been issued, the Court finds that corporate representation is not legally required.
This Order terminates Docket Numbers 282 and 288.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
FootNotes
1. Together with their Confidential Statement, defendants filed an administrative motion to file the statement under seal. (Dkt. No. 288.) The Court finds that disclosure of the Confidential Statement would be against the public interest because the need to protect privileged attorney-client communications outweighs the public's need for disclosure. Accordingly, and for good cause shown, defendants' sealing motion is GRANTED.
